About me

International actress with a Hispanic/Latino background and strong cross-cultural presence. Fluent in English (American and British accents) and native Spanish (neutral and regional accents).

Based in Spain. Italian citizen with a European passport.

Her credits include My Oxford Year (Netflix’s worldwide #1 in August 2025, directed by Iain Morris), The Penguin Lessons (directed by Academy Award–nominated Peter Cattaneo), and the acclaimed BBC series The Split: Barcelona, created by BAFTA Award winner Abi Morgan.

Casting lane – DRAMA & COMEDY
Consistently cast as strong, intelligent women who balance authority with emotional depth. Projects strength, elegance, warmth, and subtle vulnerability, often underscored by sharp, dry humor.

Her essence lends itself to procedurals as composed, high-functioning professionals — leaders marked by clarity, restraint, and emotional intelligence, whose authority can mask an underlying compulsion for control. That controlled intensity carries into nurturing mothers and deceptive antagonists.

Recent auditions include Rivals (Disney+) and The Assassin (Prime Video).

A trained improviser with strong comedic instincts, she is also a professional stand-up comedian, with appearances on 20Vint (RTVE 2) and Stand-Up Revolution (Antena 1, Romania). 

Born in Argentina, she began her training in musical theatre and continued in New York, studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, HB Studio, and with other notable teachers.
