About Me
Spanish-British actress based in Madrid.
I've always loved bringing characters and stories to life, whether on screen or on stage. I hold a dual degree in Performing Arts and Media and Communications, and have continued my acting training in both Madrid and London.
My work includes Albert Pintó's film Leones en invierno, playing Martirio in The House of Bernarda Alba at London's Cervantes Theatre, and creating and starring in REDESS, an original stage comedy.
