About me

In 2019 I came to Berlin to dive into voice acting as well - which was successful. 

June 2022 I performed „The Final Days Of Humanity“ by Karl Kraus, directed by Paulus Manker. Since winter 2022, I’m Resident Director and Swing in the Roaring-20s-Show „Berlin Berlin“.

April to June I was touring through China (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou) with the german language two-person-musical "Narziss und Goldmund".

I'm member and regional contact of the german actors union, member of the Queer Media Society and signed the #ActOut Manifest.
