Stéphanie Reist was born in Biel/Bienne in 1987 in German-French Switzerland. After completing her first training in gastronomy, she lived in Basel for 5 years, where she managed a starred restaurant. However, this beautiful house also housed a theater (...coincidence?). After walking past the stairs next to the theater every day for a few years and spoiling the artists with culinary delights, she decided to pack her things and follow her passion to study acting in Berlin. Since then she has worked as a freelance actress in various theater and film productions.
