About me

Berlin-based actor with training in stage and screen performance. I am particularly interested in queer-inclusive narratives and complex, non-stereotypical roles that challenge conventional character framing. I bring a grounded, detail-oriented approach to both theatre and camera work, with a strong focus on authenticity and adaptability.
