About me

I am a trained actor based in Copenhagen. I trained in London, NYC and Copenhagen. I have both English and Danish as my mother languages. My background is very diverse and spans South America, the Middle East, India, South Africa and Scandinavia thus giving me a very varied casting profile. I have a particular fondness for period drama as a I LOVE research! I am very engaged in the call for diversity in casting and breaking down stereotypes and instead focusing on "type". After all, why shouldn't a South African be allowed to portray Hamlet if the type fits? Let's go!
