About me

I've always been drawn to performance. As a child, I was involved in school plays, where I quickly gained recognition for my talent in bringing characters to life. The excitement and feedback from these early experiences fueled my passion for performance. Transitioning into music, I spent years performing on stage and in front of the camera, honing my craft and learning the nuances of live and recorded performance.

Raised bilingually as both a British and German citizen, I’ve spent many weeks and months in the U.S., where I also learned to speak with an American accent. This diverse background, combined with my experience across various fields - from working class to upper class - has given me a broad understanding of different people and their stories.

The pivotal moment in my career came while working as a storyboard artist on a major film project. A renowned director noticed my unique film presence and suggested I explore acting. His encouragement was the push I needed. I enrolled in acting school and immersed myself in the craft.

Since then, I’ve been dedicated to breaking through in the industry, bringing depth and authenticity to every role. Each performance is an opportunity to connect with audiences and convey stories through my unique perspective and experiences.
