I am a 27-year-old woman, half Swedish and half Chilean, from Sweden, with many interests. I was born and raised in a small county called Mölndal, a place where nature fuses with the busy city life. It’s where I currently live and where my journey in the arts and technology started.

​From a young age, I was drawn to the arts, attending a school named LM Engström, where I studied in the music program. I loved singing, playing instruments, and acting. One memorable project I worked on was a quirky High School Musical production with my class. My childhood dream was always to become an actress, and this was the push that made me pursue it.

After graduation, I applied to an acting school in Burträsk, a town in northern Sweden. This led me to my first acting role in a film that was submitted to various festivals. I even won an award for best actress at November festivalen in 2017, which was a significant milestone for me.

In 2019, I attended the acting program at Prague Film School in the Czech Republic, earning more nominations, including one in the USA for student films.

Sometime during these years, I also joined the military and a few times each year work as a staff assistant with the Swedish Home Safe Guard. This role has taught me the importance of responsibility and the ability to adapt to different environments. It was also during this time that I discovered a passion for programming and tools like Blender, which led me to pursue further studies in game development at Yrgo Game Programming.

Outside of programming, I enjoy drawing (mostly traditionally) and sports. As a child, I tried football, ballet, and jazz dance, and more recently, I've taken up wrestling as a hobby and would love to learn archery in the future. I’m also a fan of action movies, military-inspired activities like "Soldier Walks," and hiking, where I’ve taken several solo trips, including one to the highest peak in Sweden, Kebnekaise.

My journey has taught me that I am adaptable, curious, and constantly eager to learn. I thrive in creative spaces and love collaborating with others. My experiences, both in the arts and now in programming, shape who I am today, and I can’t wait to see where the road leads next.

​

All in all, I’m someone who likes to explore not just life but also the balance between creativity and logic, whether it’s on stage or behind the screen. I bring passion and persistence to everything I do, and I’m always open to learning something new.
