About me

” Being an actress is the first thing I remember wanting to do in life    – Ana

I am Portuguese actress based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I work internationally and I am available to travel. I recall performing in theatre plays since a very young age. At the age of 13, I joined a theatre group and enrolled in various acting courses (e.g. acting for TV and Cinema) at renowned acting schools in Portugal. With more than 13 years of theatre stage experience and some TV appearances, acting has been keeping me alive, engaged and wanting to learn more.

I am now enrolled in a One Year International Acting program. I am studying, among other areas, Strasberg and Meisner technique, and acting for camera. And what a journey it has been! It has helped me to embrace my true self, genuinely experience my performances, be present in the moment, actively listen and react to the other characters, and develop deep, authentic emotional responses in scene. This experience coupled with the strong vocal and diction skills I bring from my stage experience, make me a more complete actress.

Some of the things I enjoy doing: watch great movies, whether that is the great classics of the cinema, art house or inspiring modern movies. I get blown away with the performance of inspiring colleagues like Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis or Meryl Streep. If you have a good movie suggestion, please do drop me a line. I also love travelling, walking in the nature, sporting, and learning new skills. Apart from this, I have been combining acting with working as a marketing manager, another area which keeps me creative and on my toes.

I look forward to connecting and working with you!
