about me
After a life in which I have seen much of the world. I have lived and worked with many different people. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to fulfill a childhood dream. I started acting.
After 4 years of directing, acting training, workshops and masterclasses, I notice that acting gives me an enormous sense of freedom. In addition, I can palpably share my emotions with the audience. My strength as an actor is to focus completely on my fellow actors. By being in touch, focusing on what is real, I can give credible and natural play.
