I was born and raised in Hungary, when it was still communist. My mother escaped to Germany when I was 5 and left me and my sister in Hungary for 5 years. In these 5 years my sister and I lived with adopted teachers, grandparents, at friends houses, and often times alone in a studio apartment.

When we finally emigrated to West Germany, I was 10 1/2 and I got to meet my Mother and her new family. Learning to speak German, getting used to a new culture, a new school system, and making new friends was not easy. Through school I was enrolled in many activities, like tennis, theatre, handball (the European sport,) I studied computer technology and chemistry, and I went through several arts programs.

At the age of 16 I ran away from home, and was homeless for about 2 weeks, until I got admitted into a foster home. I loved my new home and I stayed there for a little over a year. At the age of 18, when I had to leave the foster home, I was homeless again, this time for almost a year. At this time I enrolled in college and studied Psychology and this was the year when I decided to come to Los Angeles.

Once I arrived, first of course I had to learn English. I started working, getting paid under the table, cleaning houses, baby sitting, dog sitting, and I also worked as a bartender and other jobs. I started working as a model and met a photographer who taught me photography. Through different modeling jobs, a director cast me for his short film and another director cast me for a PSA and I ended up working with him on several projects.

I started acting and supplemented my income with photography jobs and modeling jobs. I taught myself website design so I could promote my acting and photography better, and I started meeting more people through acting, modeling and the photography.

When I met Stephen, we started working together in every arena and we still do. Through him, I got a bicycle and we started riding together to my auditions, photo gigs and his meetings and his jobs.

Through cycling, we found a new community and we founded illuminateLA.  Stephen and I are married now and we are hoping to inspire our friends and our community to get more involved in the arts, in better transportation solutions, and in their community.

I'm still continuing my acting, and that is my first passion. Through acting I have been able to express myself, I have been able to connect to people on a different level, and I have met people of all walks of life.

My involvement in the theater world, in community events, city issues, and working with non-profit organizations has led to many different job opportunities.

The past few years I have worked as a stage manager and stage technician, and I have also co-produced and produced stage plays. I have designed websites for actors, for non-profits, and for retail companies. I was flown to St. Louis to photograph for an international company as well as to New York to work on acting and modeling projects.

I'm a member of SAG and AFTRA.  For 2 years I was on the board of Women In Theatre and today I'm on the board of the SAG Conservatory and the CalTrans 7 Bicycle Advisory Committee.

I love to say "Yes!" to anything that comes my way that challenges me and that involves cool, creative people.

So if you have any projects that I would fit for, be it acting, web design or photography, send me a message. (And please, introduce yourself!)

And now, here is my directorial debut with two wonderful actors, Kiva Jump and Aaron Lyons. You can read more about the details of this shoot on my blog.
