As she turned nineteen she got accepted to start at one of Stockholm’s most prestigious acting schools, Calle Flygare. She made her way to the German capital, where she discovered the uncompromising and creative film culture of Berlin. This was where she had the opportunity to collaborate with other film talents and evolve her own unique expression.
