Biography

Her mother is Romanian, her father is Panamanian/Jamaican. She moved to Sweden when she was 4.5 years old and learned Spanish and Swedish. Her family relocated to Panama for a year, where she studied at a Catholic School with nuns. After a year of opposition, she convinced her mother to move back to Sweden where she continued to study at an American school. In 6th grade, she moved back to a Swedish School and ultimately she went to an International High School, where she decided to study in Italy for an exchange year after her first year in high school. After high school, she enrolled at S.E.T Elementary Theatre School as a warm up for her decision to later enroll at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting in LA, where she stayed for 6.5 years until ultimately moving back home to blooming Sweden at the end of 2012.
