About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a cure for death

ABOUT ME

I am the daughter of a British dad and a Brazilian mom. I grew up in a bicultural environment and as a result I have always been passionate about traveling and culture in general. I have been a professional actress for 12 years. I have worked in the theatre as a performer, playwright, director and photographer. I recently did my first monologue based on a travel diary I kept while walking the Way of St. James in Northern Spain. As it is hard to make ends meet as an artist in Brazil I also work as a corporate English coach and as a conference interpreter.
I have a great sense of humour and enjoy others that can laugh at themselves and don't take everything so darn seriously. I am described by others as being quite off-the-wall! I love spontaneity and tend to live intensily from one minute to the next.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life while you're still around and cut the "what if"? from your thought process.
