About me

I'm a 28-year-old professional actress and singer currently living in Northern-Italy.
I graduated from drama school in 2018 and previously I've worked as a singer with Oscar-Winner director Ennio Morricone, Italian pop singer Elisa, pianist Giovanni Allevi and many others, performing on some of the biggest stages in Italy and in Europe.
I am bilingual Italian-English, I speak German at an excellent level and French at a good level. 
Besides Italy, I have lived, studied and worked in Scotland, South Africa and Germany.
