About me

View profile
I am an internationally trained actress with over ten years of experience in theatre, film, TV, and commercials. I hold a BA in Acting from The Kogan Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and a Master’s degree in International Performing Arts from Stockholm University of the Arts. My work blends classical training with a strong focus on physical storytelling, improvisation, and devising.

I’m passionate about creating dynamic characters and exploring stories that resonate across cultures. Fluent in English and Swedish, I’m versatile in both comedic and dramatic roles. Some career highlights include playing Kikki in Padeldrömmar (TV4/Cmore), Kate in Laugh Out Loud Sketch Show (New Wave Comedy), and leading roles in theatre productions such as Jobbet, framför allt! at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern.

I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to explore new creative challenges on stage and screen.
