About me

Hi ! Throughout my life, I have felt a deep passion for acting and biology. 
An artist at heart and, if you allow me, a bit of a crazy scientist too. Twice graduated as an actress in Uruguay and Belgium, I have brought to life inspiring characters who have flooded me with their light and driven me to surpass myself. And all this without the need for laboratory rehearsals!
As a biologist, I started in research and later in vaccine production, spanning several years in Uruguay, Spain, and Belgium. Basically, I've moved more than a bacterium on a Petri plate. 
In 2021, I set aside science as a profession to fully dedicate myself to my acting carrer. Goodbye pipettes, hello scripts! I am excited though to portrait characters that are strong, energetic, fearless, but also very emotional and vulnerable. 
Over time, I have also ventured into scriptwriting and live performances production. Recently, in 2023, I have been able to merge my two passions with the writing of my first play in French, "Les scientastiques," which I also produce and perform, currently staged in various theaters and schools across Belgium.
All my energy and dedication are poured into this craft, where I continue to work and grow day by day, I am a highly perseverant, optimistic, organized woman with boundless energy.  If only I could bottle it – it would be more effective than coffee!
Welcome to my world, where science and art come together to create an explosion of creativity on stage !
