About me

View profile
I’m a Czech actress based in Europe. I graduated from the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU), and I also have a background in classical singing and piano, which enriches my artistic expression and stage work.


My feature film credits include Palach (2018), Shadow Country (2020), Her Body (2023) Nightline(2022), Girl America(2024) and Victim (2023)– which premiered at Venice Film Festival in Un certain régard. I also starred in the psychological miniseries Suspicion, which premiered at the Berlinale. On television, you may have seen me in the popular series Kukačky (Cuckoos), the youth drama No Big Deal, and the TV film Smetana.


I have received four Czech Lion Award nominations for my performances in Cuckoos, Smetana, Suspicion, and Her Body. Additionally, I was honoured with both the Thalia Award and the Theatre Critics’ Award for Best Actress as Madame Bovary. In 2022, I was named in Forbes Czech Republic’s “30 under 30” list for my work in the arts.


Currently, I’m part of the ensemble at the National Theatre in Prague, performing in a wide range of classical and contemporary productions. I’m fluent in Czech and English and open to international collaborations in film, television, and theatre.
