About me

I feel in love with acting when i was in kindergarten, where we played several fairytales. When one of the parents said it was a job you could do and support your life it sounded like the perfect life for me.

I studied acting in 2009 and finished my education in 2012, then i moved to Berlin where i played in several projects for RTL "Einsatz in Köln", Joyn "Mördermann", and several shortfilms.

I also did several workshops at Coaching Company Berlin. I took a break in 2019 because i also got interested in the work behind the camera, so i started to study media design. I finished my education in 2021. But during my time behind the camera i started to miss the work infront of it, so since 2023, I was able to demonstrate my acting skills in several short films and spec-ads. I also started to do weekly acting workshops at Actorfactory. 

In addition to German, I speak English at native level. 

Now i really looking for interesting projects, and great characters that will challenge me.

Professional background

I completed my training at the Media Academy Thuringia, where I had dancing lessons as well as acting, singing and stunt. I then took part in the intensive acting course at Coaching Company Berlin. I have appeared in various short films, television and film productions. Since I completed my camera acting workshop at the Coaching Company Berlin in 2017, I have been developing my skills in the weekly training group at the actorfactory in 2024.
