About me

I'm a professional actress living in Germany and Italy.
I was born in 1994 and I graduated from drama school in 2018. Previously I've worked as a singer/chorister 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.
I am bilingual Italian-English, I speak German at an excellent level and French at a good level. 
I have also lived, studied and worked in the UK and in South Africa.
