About Me

Hi and many thanks for looking at my profile! A little about myself....I am a Belgian/American, English native speaker, fluent in French and Dutch, now living in the UK. I work as a self-employed Graphic Designer and keeping with my artsy side, I love to model and act. I also enjoy working behind the camera and putting concepts and visions together. I have a keen eye for developing the right image!

I have been in two feature films, Life Is An Art and Reiki; both of which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, which I was able to attend. As far as other skills go, I am a keen golfer and skilled in athletics, football, dance, piano and saxophone.

I am open to all kinds of work, but NOT nude or glamour. I am happy to do presenting, hosting or promotional work, photoshoots for TFP or paid work, and lead/supporting/extra acting work.

Please get in touch if you are interested in working with me. I hope to hear from you soon!
