About me
I am a citizen of Switzerland, the middle child of a Swiss and an Italian, and I’ve had the privilege of living in multiple countries. I am fluent in five languages, and my diverse experiences have shaped both my worldview and my craft.
Before pursuing acting full-time, I earned a BA in English and Spanish linguistics and literature and worked for many years as a Flight Attendant, a German language teacher and an Event/Community Manager. Since childhood, my creative outlets have included acting, dancing, writing, singing, songwriting, and cooking. I am an adventurer at heart and love the outdoors, always seeking new experiences and perspectives.
The wealth of multi-cultural experience and deep understanding of human nature that I’ve gained over the years strongly inform my work as an actress. I am fascinated by the complex factors that shape each individual and love exploring the contradictions, vulnerabilities, and strengths that make people unique.
