From the very beginning of my career within the arts sector it was important to me to gain knowledge about the whole process of a production. Whether for film, theatre or television I was always keen to find out how everything works. This interest opened many doors to production companies and theatres across the world. 

In the last five years I got the chance to direct plays, short films and cinema ads across Europe. I worked as a first assistant director for television production companies and theatres. I got to play great roles such as Hamlet and Macbeth in Shakespeare plays as well as portraying lovers, husbands, murderers, police officers, WWII soldiers or simply a paintball trainer.

As a writer I collaborated with Kate Shenton on her television pilot episode of The Jasons, a dark and gritty horror comedy, which has been awarded with several prizes at short film festivals across the globe. I  wrote the play Grenzgänger, which had a very successful run in France, and the full length play Eine Nacht im Theater - Ein Karl Valentin Abend, which enjoyed a sell out run at the Salzburg State Theatre in 2019. For both my plays I also took the director's chair. 

Between 2012 and 2016 I have been regularly to Japan as a tour manager for the world's biggest TIE company. Aside from that I started coaching (young) people in matters such as acting, directing, negotiation, public speaking and several more topics. In the capacity of a coach I am regularly holding workshops across Europe. 

My dedication, passion and interest has helped me create meaningful, relevant, contemporary content for theatre, film and television and I am always on the lookout for new challenges.
