I’m an Austrian-born actor, writer & filmmaker who loves character-driven storytelling—and walking 12+ miles a day through LA (in Birkenstocks, mostly). My work is rooted in emotional honesty, shaped by years in indie film and human rights. My debut short On Waking Up earned multiple festival awards. I’m currently in LA deepening my craft through scene work, training, and exploration.
