About me

Born and raised in Berlin, I live my passions of acting and pedagogical work: My passion revolves around people, their background stories. I love observing people, empowering them, giving them a voice, representing them by acting; I enjoy both the practical work as a coach and actor, as well as the theoretical development in the preparation and follow-up of projects. I have been particularly influenced by my studies and the people I have met during this time: my acting studies at the Fritz Kirchhoff School and my studies in social work / education (B.A./M.A.) with a focus on education and counselling. 

Since my childhood I have played many roles with heart and mind in various film, theatre and advertising projects. My personal favourites are humour and comedy, but also complex characters against a humorous narrative. I look forward to many upcoming projects and learning and growing together. 

If you ask me what makes me tick, it's my love for people and myself and I think that's what it takes in a world full of multiple paradoxes and perceived uncertainties.
