About me

View profile
I was born in California to a US mother and Swiss father and grew up bilingual in Zurich, Switzerland. After years in law enforcement (7 years as a sworn-in police officer) and the judicial system (legal secretary and translator/interpreter for the public prosecutor's office in Zurich), my husband and I moved to Toronto, Canada, 4 years ago to pursue our respective dreams. This summer (2024), we will be moving to Atlanta, Georgia. Since moving here, I have been steadily building my resume on stage and on camera. My credits include a lead role in the feature film Invited (105films, 2023/2024), lead roles in the immersive theatre production Stranger Things: The Experience (Netflix, Fever, 2023), various short films, Toronto theatre productions and commercials (national, regional). I also wrote, produced and performed in my own solo show - a dark comedy about mental health and finding your own path. I speak five languages (English, German and Swiss German: mother tongue proficiency, Italian and French: conversational) and have a valid Swiss and US passport.
