Bio
I'm a Brazil born & Switzerland raised Virgo with a passion for languages and a fear of numbers.
In 2016 I decided to drop my initial career path of psychiatric nursing to join an amateur theater group in Switzerland.
That's when I had the chance of rekindling my love of acting in a Swiss fringe play ''Bad News'', where I portrayed a journalist reporting a societal collapse.
That same year, only five months after the last of six performances, I migrated across the pond and onto mainland Britain.
After two years of dedicated training at the International School of Screen Acting (ISSA) I graduated at BAFTA in July 2018.
When I'm not obsessing about getting my self-tape setup just perfectly right, I can be found speed walking in the urban jungle, exercising or winding down by poetically staring off into the distance - all the while pretending to be in a highly conceptualized music video.

We did it! We took home the second place in the category Best International Short Film at the 2021 Hollywood Art & Movie Awards for our multinational and socially distanced project The Mistake that was filmed and rehearsed entirely on Zoom.
The film can be watched on Vimeo -
& the exclusive Q&A panel is embedded below.
Thank you to Matt Beurois and the PAMA-HAMA team, our lovely agent/producer Deborah Shaw, our one and only director Joe Withers, the technical team that made this happen behind the scenes and of course, my beautiful and crazy talented fellow actors (and writers) Alice Torriani, Matilda Kime, Ivo Arakov, Gian Marco Tavani and Andreas G. Hansen.
Here's to more successful projects and hopefully we'll actually get to see each other outside of the confines of a screen.
