About Me

Well, a bit about me... It..s kind of strange to put this into some plain simple words, but hei... let..s give it a try...I am a Portuguese Actress who has been working in London for the last 8 years. I have worked on a big variety of Films ("Love Actually"(UK), "Harry Potter"(UK), etc) TV series ("William & Mary"(UK), "Murphy’s Law"(UK), "Os Jornalistas"(PT), etc), Commercials ("Nokia"(UK), "Kotex Duo"(UK), etc) and Videoclips (Andrea Brown, "Tripping"(UK), Sacerdotes de Alquimia "Aventura" & "Saudade"(PT), etc)...My career goes way back to when i was a very young girl and started giving my first steps in Modelling... I worked for many well known names in the Portuguese fashion world like, Jose Antonio Tenente, Maria Gambina and Sofia de Almeida... but soon my career was to take a turn into Tv and Film... It all happened by chance... one day i was strolling the streets of Lisbon when i saw a paper on a window of an old building saying "Casting Here", without thinking twice i went in and it was to be the casting that got me my first part in TV Series "Os Journalistas"... soon after that i got a part in a Film called "Transito Local" from Fernando Rocha... and within a month i was flying out to London, were i had the best 8 years i could have ever wished for... I also travelled to New York to study with one of the best Acting coaches in the world, Susan Batson... and now I..m back in Portugal, finding my roots...
