About me

I am a mixed race Italian and Kenyan (Swahili tribe- Afro-Arab ancestry) actress. I am a native Italian and English (American accent) speaker and regularly perform in both languages across Film/TV, theatre and voice over (commercials, video games, audiobooks).  I also speak French and Kiswahili. I've lived in London since I was 15 years old and also have a base in Rome, my beloved hometown, which I can use while filming there.

I graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) in July 2025, where I was the proud recipient of the Sir John Gielgud Award and Leverhulme Arts Scholarships for 2 years in a row.

I am also an experienced voice over artist. I have voiced commercial/corporate campaigns both in English and Italian. Highlights include: Amazon, Deliveroo, Just Cavalli, Expedia, Meta, Max Factor, EllaOne, Vaseline, TikTok, Canesten, Amazon Music, Tinder.
