Telling stories means connecting people, diving into the small and big experiences that make each person unique. Everyone carries something within them that longs to be heard. And that’s the superpower of writing for film – we show each other that we want to see and understand one another, that feelings and hopes truly matter.

​

I live in Berlin, a vibrant city that inspires me every day. Alongside my work as an actress and writer, I volunteer in the field of mental health – a cause that is very close to my heart. I'm part of the queer community and currently exploring the cultural facets of my Bulgarian and Belgian roots with great curiosity.

​

Some of my favorite projects so far include The Sound of Song and Whisper, which beautifully blends gentle emotions with a turbulent world; Ku’damm 56, where I had the pleasure of working on Sven Bohse’s stunning set; and A Request for Citizenship by Alma Almeida – a deep dive into a dystopian world filled with green screens, androids, and an incredible team. I also thoroughly enjoyed working on the new Sherlock series – and as a lifelong Star Trek fan, being part of Star Trek Infinite was a true highlight.

​

I'm continuously inspired by films like Joe Wright’s "Pride and Prejudice" (2005) and John Hughes "The Breakfast Club", as well as the music of Queen. It’s amazing how many new perspectives we gain through our projects, constantly expanding our understanding of the world.

When I’m not in front of the camera or writing, I love planning film events with my loved ones and spending hours in cozy cafés and mystical libraries.

I’m looking forward to many new stories and to creating inspiring worlds with amazing teams.
