about me
I am an enthusiastic actor who is very involved in the result to be made and knows how to tackle things. I take acting very seriously and find a good focus on the set or in the theater very important. My strengths are my language skills, a large range of types and I quickly understand what a director wants to see.
I started improvisational theatre at the age of 13 at the centre for the Arts in Sneek (Friesland). For my studies I moved to Eindhoven at the age of 18, where I participated in various courses and productions at the student theatre association Doppio (cabaret, basic acting, theatre sports and text theatre). In addition, I also followed acting courses at Stichting Theaterplan under the supervision of Oscar de Boer and various guest lecturers. I also did two short film projects under the direction of Gegam Soghomoyan and Ivo Nouwen.

Al het acteerwerk waar ik iets van kan leren, vooral comedy's en sketches vind ik leuk. Ook wil ik me graag ontwikkelen tot stemacteur en vind het leuk om betrokken te zijn bij het maak/schrijfproces.

remarks
My (American) English is very good because of my American family and I am very good at characterization and impersonations.
