about me
After taking various courses and preparatory training in theater with the Northerners in the Netherlands, I moved to Ireland to expand my skillset here. In Dublin I studied film acting at Bow Street Academy and then took lessons in stunt acting (including car collisions, fire stunts, height falls) and fighting for the film set. I am qualified in fighting with and without weapons. I can still be found regularly in the Netherlands for courses or recordings, for example last year I followed the voice acting workshop at VoiceConsult. Besides acting I also write my own short films, I currently have two short films in the running for this festival season 'Eggshells' and 'Office Offence'. These films are both comedy films, I'm currently working on a psychological thriller with a co-writer.
