Actor, Content Creator & Entrepreneur

My mission is to inspire people to overcome their limiting beliefs so they can follow their true passions, chase their dreams and achieve their full potential.

My Story

How I Ended Up Here

My deepest desire as a child was to become an actress. But I shut down that dream very soon in my life.

My favourite classes in high school were theatre and gym. But I was academically gifted, and believed that I shouldn’t “waste” that potential, so I chose tu pursue sciences.

Then, I changed my mind and studied graphic design in college. Then changed my mind again, got into the bachelor of kinesiology… and ended up doing a master’s degree in physiotherapy. 

I finally graduated. Got the title. Got the promising job.

But after a few years of working, I felt stuck.

So I quit.

And there I was, at 31, with no idea what I was going to do with my life… yet again.

So I moved abroad and went on a self-rediscovery journey. 

I lived in many different places, experiencing new cultures and exploring my passions.

During that time I started my blog and discovered a new passion for digital marketing.

In the midst of that journey, my childhood dream resurfaced. I knew what I needed to do.

So here I am now, at 34, starting a brand new acting career from scratch and showing people that there is no rule, no age at which you can reinvent yourself, explore your passions and pursue your dreams.

From people-pleaser to unapologetic

Before I started my self-discovery journey, I never made decisions for myself.
 
I was guided by other people’s needs and I was never prioritizing myself. I desperately needed people to feel good, so I was constantly adapting to their moods. I was very self-conscious, guilt was my best friend and I was scared of people’s judgment.
 
My entire life was ruled by the need to make everyone feel comfortable.
 
Everyone except myself.
 
For so long I thought I would be selfish for prioritizing my needs. I entertained unhealthy relationships and I didn’t believe I deserved to dream big. But the truth is, I knew I deserved better. And I wanted more from my life. So I learned to listen to how I feel, to set boundaries and to communicate clearly. In other words, to put myself first.
 
I finally embraced my true potential as a strong, confident and talented woman and I hope to inspire more women to find strength within.
