2006- Survive. Role - Laura.
Surviving is a low-key “teen drama” set in the sad and dire, real-life setting of the Dutch polder. The main themes are survival and the redemption available in the acts of giving and accepting love. Even in the toughest circumstances, as long as there is love, there is hope. Luna (16) lives with her mother and six-year-old brother, Bas, in a dreary housing estate. When Luna stands up for herself against a teen gang member, Laura, she becomes the victim of the gang's persecution.
The short Dutch film OVERLEVEN (52 min) from Buzzmedia Network, written and directed by Heinrich Dahms and produced by Michele Aime, has won the award for Best Short Feature Film at the Cape Winelands Film Festival in Stellenbosch, South Africa 2008.
2008- Wither. Role - Meike.
(90min)
A student is kicked to death in front of a supermarket by two drunken youths on a scooter. They were on their way to buy a case of beer and almost knocked over an elderly woman. The violence followed because the student (Moroccan) dared to confront the bums about their behavior. The story follows, over a period of eighteen hours, the parallel developments during the student's last day and the two troubled night of sex, drugs and trance, until immediately after the fatal intersection of their fates.
The film tackles the subject of senseless violence in contemporary society and is a dramatic analysis of the "causality" that underlies the apparently "random" „¢ events that so often end in personal tragedies.
The tone of this “art house film” is hard and realistic and focuses on character and story. In terms of genre, the film can be compared to "KIDS", "LA VIE DE JESUS" and "NAKED". „¢.

I have loved acting since I was 8 years old. In primary school I wanted to participate in as many school musicals as possible! I have also had acting lessons since I was 8. I stopped doing this when I went to 2nd grade. I have acted in 2 'low budget' films. I also attended workshops at the theater school, De Trap, in Amsterdam. When I have my HAVO diploma, I really want to go to drama school.
In addition to my passion for acting, I also love art and photography. I draw and paint a lot and every now and then I try to put something together with photoshop. I also love music and have been playing the piano for 12 years and the guitar for 2 years.
