Identity has never felt fixed or singular for me. Born in the Netherlands to Scottish parents, raised in Belgium, and having lived in six countries, I've never felt I fit neatly into one box. Growing up alongside a sibling with special needs also taught me early on that people experience the world in profoundly different ways.

​

Attending an international school surrounded by friends from across the globe sparked a fascination with culture, language and human behaviour. It was perhaps inevitable that I gravitated towards drama, gymnastics and languages; each offering different forms of expression and connection. I studied drama throughout my school years and performed extensively in theatre, including playing Edith Cavell in a production commemorating the centenary of the First World War.

​

Alongside acting, I developed a longstanding interest in personal development, wellbeing and human behaviour. I have a certification in life coaching, specialising in women empowerment and holistic health. Over the years, these experiences have deepened my understanding of people and continue to inform my work as an actor.

​

Before returning to acting professionally, I spent several years working in international business and journalism. At 25, the path back to performance began unexpectedly when I was scouted by a casting agency in Lisbon. Soon after, I was cast in a global Coca-Cola commercial and rediscovered the passion for storytelling that had never fully left me.

​

Since then, I have returned to the stage through productions of Sister Act and Hairspray with The Bridge Theatre in Brussels. I am currently undertaking a two-year programme in film and television acting at Acting Academy in Lint, Belgium.

​

In March 2026, I signed for representation with Crawford Talents in Berlin. I look forward to collaborating on projects that explore the complexity of the human experience and tell stories that leave audiences feeling and seeing the world differently.
