About me

I am a French actor working fluently in both French and English.
My playing age is 35–45, and I am often cast in grounded, emotionally nuanced roles.
Originally trained in theatre, I now focus on screen work across film, television, and radio. I bring a grounded, authentic presence to every role, with a strong physical approach—I enjoy running, horse riding, and I am currently training in stunts to expand my range.

I am drawn to intense, committed characters, particularly in realistic and emotionally driven stories. More recently, I have also discovered comedy, which I have enjoyed exploring and wish to develop further. I also dream of working on genre projects, where I can explore physical acting with SFX makeup and transformation.

I recently played the lead role of Clémence in Hors-Sol, a short film directed by Aymée Hamon, which will be screened at the British Film Institute in January 2026 as part of the London Film School programme.
