Hobbies: Movies, theater, writing, reading, cooking, spending time with friends
How did you get involved in acting: Since I was in Kindergarten, I have always been fascinated by movies and plays and already loved to act. I joined a theatre group when I was in high school and, after graduation, I went to drama school.
What is your daily routine: I don’t have a daily routine! That’s one of the things I love about acting. I exercise and do voice and speech training every day. Depending on the role I play or the casting I’m preparing for, I have various ways of working on the character and the scene/play. Additionally, I have different side jobs.
For an actress in Berlin, what is essential to succeed in the industry: Patience and determination.
What are some of your goals for 2013: To make the best of every opportunity and to grow as an actress and as a person.
What is the best acting gig/opportunity you've had so far: The acting jobs I did were very different, and I learned something from all of them and enjoyed them. The last (and ongoing) job I had at the State Opera of Berlin, for example, opened up this whole new world of opera to me.

Where would you like to travel for work: I make it depending on the project, not the country. Because we are in the middle of the Berlin winter, heading somewhere warm would be nice...
Best thing about Berlin: Berlin is changing all the time, it is full of inspiration, creativity and opportunities, it is so very much alive!
One thing you would change in Berlin/Germany: The relation of income to the living costs.
What is your impression of Chicago: I have never been there, but when I think about Chicago these are the first things that come to my mind: my friends who live there, cold winter wind, business city, and the “Cell block tango” from the musical Chicago.
Any words of wisdom for our viewers:
The only constant in life is change.
Be aware of everything that is in your power.
