About me

I have been on stage since I was 11 years old and in front of the camera for 20 years and I still love my job - I especially like entertaining yet smart plays and films that tell important stories in a humorous way. I like to play autentic roles that don't like to show their little flaws and secrets, which makes them particularly interesting - or funny. I would love to work on projects that make people laugh but also make them think. Laura Linney, Anke Engelke and Martina Hill are my big role models :-)


My English is okay - I understand everything and can also play well in English if given a little time.

I am looking forward to all kinds of requests (except porn and erotic or other human rights violating projects).

Also non- or low budget, if it is basically a no-budget project and all participants are "in the same boat".
