About me

An actress and member of the Zone34 collective, born in France and based between Paris and Marseille, I develop a performance style rooted in restraint, grounded presence, and contained intensity.
Of Spanish origin, I have also lived in Senegal, a formative experience that deeply shaped my artistic sensitivity and my relationship to the body, silence, and presence.

On screen, I have appeared in a feature-length documentary filmed in Senegal, as well as in several short films in France. I portray women confronted with intimate, social, or professional tensions, often at pivotal moments where everything is conveyed through what remains unspoken — through gaze, stillness, and physical composure.
More recently, I played the muse of a painter grappling with the vertigo of creation, followed by a young woman facing the pressures and distortions of her partner’s professional environment — two complex roles carried by quiet gravity and understated authority, in short films intended for the festival circuit.

Trained in contemporary, modern, hip-hop, and acrobatic dance, with a specialization in partner-lifting techniques, I place the body at the center of storytelling, tension, and meaning.

I also speak Wolof.
