About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the borders of my exitence and cross them

ABOUT ME

I am crazy but not annoying, Enchanting but no snow white, Sweet but not sticky or for eating, happy but not grin your own face off, I love a good joke, and every once in a while I try to make one.

I want a lot out of life just because I know that if you work hard enough on something, you'll make it.
I am an graduated actress working as an actress, director and writer. Acting makes me feel alive and is one of the most important things in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Failure will not overtake as long as my determination to succeed is strong enough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed my own written piece of comedy for a full theater and rocked at it. I'll NEVER EVER forget how wonderful the crowd was and how it felt..

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm part of an theatre company that does shakespeare in the orginional words with everything around it improvised. The audience chooses the cast, influences the play of the night with the props they bring and experience the night with the actors together in a way theatre has not seen before. I have a great love for Shakespeare and his language and know the entire Midsummer nights dream by heart, as well as several other scenes for different plays. (oh! sounds cocky, but I worked really hard getting to know them) Talking about Theatre is something I love doing. Sharing other people's views, exchanging ideas.
