This would be the perfect place to tell you how I rode an elephant through deep Indian jungle, or nomaded with beduins in the Israeli desert. Furthermore I could throw in, how my love for travel and experimenting has lead me into some quite interesting situations. And of course this bio wouldn't be complete w/o me mentioning, that I was born in 1992 in New Zealand, with two extra toes. (Ok, I was kidding about the toes) But I'd rather inform you of my love for TV, Film, Music and Comedy and how I believe, they enrich our lives in ways otherwise impossible; That's one of the reasons I got into this business - I have a strong message to spread. And to sum it all up I'd tell you that acting is my passion, as it allows me to stay honest and humble. Also, that I bring a strong, good attitude to the set, along with endurance, creativity and a sense of urgency to produce the best work I can. I'm happy to send you a tailor-made self-tape, if you have a part that may fit my description.

Apart from countless advertisements, not-so-real Reality shows, some series, fashion shoots and a few shortfilms, I had the good fortune of working on the movie "Traumland" ("Dreamland") that played in theatres and was awarded at Zurich Film Festival.

I'm always looking for a new challenge. Every character deserves respect, and I'm willing to get down and dirty, and go into the farthest places in their minds to really unlock that vulnerability. I'm a very focused, hardworking actress, who brings good mood, energy and efficiency to set. Having fun for me, comes with doing what I do, and doing it well - so you will never find me unprepared.

Part-time model - paid commercial work

I've been fortunate enough to work on different campaigns with a multitude of Photographers. Whether it was shooting in a waterfall during the golden hour when relaxation comes naturally, or whether it's for festival fashion presented in daring poses that need more focus and power to seem effortless.

I work efficiently and follow direction, without involving my ego. Simply put, it's not about me. It's about the integrity of the shot and the vision of the person directing.
But I'm no wallflower and always try to make bold choices.

TV & Reality

I've acted in many TV-ads (National and International) and hosted two shows for a local TV-network.
I'm very comfortable and familiar with multi-angle shoots and love the excitement of shooting a series! Such a role is something I'm extremely passionate about, as one really gets to know the character and see them evolve over time. I'm a true team-player, so working with a good crew is fantastic. The most inspiring professionals I've ever worked with included Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Dir. "Amélie", 2001) and Janusz Kaminski (DoP "Schindler's list", 1993). Working with such amazing individuals was a humbling experience that I take with me, every time I enter a new set.
