About me

I am an actor who feels most at home portraying complex, unconventional characters. I enjoy exploring perspectives that sit outside the norm and bringing them to life with honesty and depth.

I put a lot of myself into my characters and work intuitively, allowing my own way of thinking to shape each role. I am often described as reliable and committed when working in partnership, and I value clear communication and trust within a team.

I am not afraid of smaller roles; on the contrary, I enjoy them. I approach every part with the same level of focus and aim to make even brief appearances bold, memorable, and meaningful.

While I prefer developing characters independently, I adapt well within productions and remain open, professional, and collaborative throughout the process.

In theatre I have worked alongside directors like John Malkovich, Ola Mafalaani, Tiit Ojassoo, Daniel Raggett.
