About me
Ever since I was a child I knew I wanted to be an actress. Inventing a character, imagining them with all their physical and emotional traits, dressing up and finally embodying them and making them as real as any other person - to me it was my favourite game I realised I want to be playing for the rest of my life. After spending my teen years performing as a part of a youth ensemble, I decided to try something different and broaden my horizons so I enrolled to a European university where I obtained a BA in Archaeology and a BA in Art History, and an MA in Classical Archaeology. Before and after graduation, I've taken part in several student musicals and a short film, recorded stories for children, and starred in a musical video in which I was able to show off some of my skills, including horse riding and archery. I was also doing some work as an extra, most important being 3 episodes of season 4 of Game of Thrones - quite a remarkable experience of working on a big set with hundreds of people, understanding the importance of focus and discipline.After participating in an Erasmus+ project dedicated to theatre and being really immersed in the world of acting with professionals and people from all over the world, I realised there is no plan B for me. I've spent years resisting my true nature, learning different skills, pursuing different jobs and experiences, only to come to a conclusion that my 5-year-old self was right all along - acting is my passion, my calling, something I was born to do. When looking back, I understand that I've only ever felt alive was when I was acting, whether in front of the camera, on stage, or in a rehearsal room surrounded by colleagues. Since then, I decided to put all my energy, time and effort into making it happen, with several successes along the way - like appearing as a guest star in two episodes of a TV show and having a prominent role in a staged reading in London, to name a few. I may have chosen the harder path, but I believe I'm learning valuable lessons that make all the pain worth while. When my acting coach told me how I've matured as an actress, I told him "I think I've matured as a person and I suppose it shows in my performance.". Still, there is a long road ahead of me with so much more to learn, to experience, and to be.
Additional skills:
Generic English accent with a hint of Estuary English, imperfect RP, Generic North American accent, generic Eastern European accent, proper classical and traditional Latin pronunciation, very basic knowledge of Spanish; basic medieval sword fighting, basic archery, basic to intermediate horse riding; singing - soprano (choir, solo), ability to sing in English, Croatian, Spanish and Hebrew; ability to wear coloured contact lenses daily for long periods of time, without them affecting my performance.
Additional information:
Even though I am more experienced in theatre, I prefer acting for screen and was often told it was my forte. Simply said, I prefer the naturalism and emotion with all it's tiny subtleties that are only possible to capture on camera.
