About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Shrooms

Hello there..... Let me tell you a little about me. Born 24th December 1977, in Buenos Aires Argentina. Moved to South Africa at the age of 6 with my family... where we stayed for 10 years. A great experience... a life changing experience, which will stay with me. Not only did i get to meet wonderful people but also get to know and see a beautiful and exotic country. Some people i still keep in contact with... whether they are still in SA or not..... some, in fact, are here in london with me and we make sure we keep in touch and go out for drinks once in a while. Others include my dearest and oldest friend... who, i still hang out with and sometimes i go along to her open mic nights and sing along... considering i am one of her oldest number one fans.. ( she has many obviously) ...... ha ha ha.... Anyway... back to my story... after having lived 10 years in SA, my parents thought it wise to return to our home land... considering the girls were getting older. Been back in Buenos Aires was not an easy thing.. but we survived and and i am sure we are much stronger because of it. I graduated as an actress in Buenos Aires.. and have been performing on - off stage... ever since. Over the last 10 years i have done a variety of projects including : cafe concert, classic plays. comedy, Tv ads, corporate entertainment, improvisation, dance/ physical theatre, kids musicals etc. Now i am working and living in London. Where i am still trying to get contacts and at least one agent to represent me so i can stop doing extra jobs and do the real thing.It can get rather frustrating at times to know that all i am doing is standing in the back ground when all i want to do is be in front of the camera. right???Anyway... thats more or less my summarized version of my life so far.
