I am a full time actress based in London. I am originally from Spain, but I have Indian features from my mother's side. I have been working as a full time actress for the last 5 years; on TV, film and commercials. In 2016 I was nominated as best actress for the role of Matilde in the play "The Clean House", which was a great honour. Lately I have been cast for different roles in Gangs of London by Sky Atlantic and Peaky Blinders for the BBC and Netflix.
