About Me

I m a teacher, actress, dancer and model from Switzerland.I was given to my parents who are both teachers as the third of four children. I spent a happy childhood in Switzerland. Early it became evident that I was very articulate and had a talent for center stage. I loved to dress up and take a stab at portraying different characters. I also loved participating in school drama plays and I am educated since early age on in ballet, later in modern and jazz-dance and performed for shows. At the age of 14 I received a national certificate to teach jazz-dance for kids and youth what I was actually teaching for 5 years. At the age of 16, I competed and won first place a Beauty Miss contest in France. Since then I was modeling for Schwarzkopf, a German hair product manufacturer. At the age of 17 I participated in a one year program at the Main Theater of Lucerne which included many shows. At the age of 20 I gratuated from Teachers' college in Lucerne and started teaching full-time at the elementary level for 6 years. My professional acting education I fullfilled in NYC. I attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York City and I am still receiving private acting and singing lessons. I m also taking dance classes in Ballet and Yoga weekly and occasionally Modern-dance.I m staying in Switzerland right now where I work part-time as an elementary school teacher and I am about studying high school teacher in the major subjects English, French, German and Arts.Although being a fresh new face in the industry I fly as much as possible overseas, preferably New York City or California... Basically for the purpose to keep in touch with the showbiz. Luckily, I was facing great opportunities in the CITY which gives me stamina and ambition which keeps me on going!
