My story

Since I was very little, I've known I wanted to be an actress, tell stories, and dedicate my life to serving the world through this beautiful profession.

I chose a different approach to my education, attending different schools and courses with different teachers and groups, instead of completing the usual multi-year diploma program with the same teacher. I prefer this dynamic because I can learn new things and different perspectives from each group I work with.

I must also add that, although it's not something that's often told, life has provided me with the foundation for my talent. It has given me many tools to bring powerful characters and stories to life through all the experiences and challenges I've endured. My path has been full of obstacles that have shaped me to give what's needed and fill characters with the emotions they require. It hasn't been (and isn't) easy, but I'm grateful to life for all the difficult moments that have made me the person I am today.

I love developing projects and, above all characters because although what we tell through them we generally say is fiction, all the wounds, traumas, emptiness, and conflicts these stories face unite us much more than we think.  

Through cinema, we tell what in real life is sometimes difficult to see, say, and hear, and that's why cinema seems to me to be a wonderful channel for providing some peace amidst all this chaos.
