PROFILE

I am a Swiss actor working across original theatre, musical theatre and independent film in New York City and Switzerland. I first earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Psychology, majoring in Market and Consumer Psychology, from Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, a grounding in human motivation and behavior that I now bring to my character work. I then completed the Two-Year Full-Time Professional Actor Training Program at William Esper Studio, where my training in the Meisner Technique established an approach to character rooted in psychological truth. I have extended that approach into physical performance through stage combat for actors with the Broadway fight direction company Sordelet Inc., the Lucid Body technique with its creator Fay Simpson, and theatrical clown with Christopher Bayes. My work brings emotionally grounded character development and demanding physical action together in a single, fully integrated performance.

​

In October 2026 I originated the lead role of 313 in The Callback, an original Off-Off-Broadway play I co-wrote with Drama Desk Award winner Christian Kelly-Sordelet. In the Swiss premiere of Tim Firth’s Greatest Days, the Take That musical previously staged in London’s West End, I understudied all five young female principal roles and performed the principal role of Debbie. I play the principal role of Willow in the independent feature film Hit House. As a Stage Combat Demonstrator with Sordelet Inc., I have demonstrated fight choreography for the companies of the four-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Lost Boys and the North American tour of Tina - The Tina Turner Musical. Switzerland’s national public broadcaster, Radio SRF 1, has recognized my career with a 42-minute radio portrait.
