A multicultural heart. A storyteller at core.
Hey there, I’m Lena - an actress, writer, and coach.
i use storytelling to explore my deep curiosity about people and culture.
With roots in the U.S. and the Mediterranean, I work internationally across stage, screen, and studio — currently based between Barcelona and the U.S.
I believe in the power of stories to move us. Likewise? let’s connect.
Using art to empower others and give a voice to those unheard.

About Me
My fascination with characters began as a daydreaming kid. I came across as quietly expressive and shy, but I was really observing, studying people, their triggers, and reactions.
I grew up mostly in Florida in a multicultural family: half Palestinian, half Italian-German American. Being shaped by more than one culture gave me a deep kind of awareness, though it also came with the challenge of holding multiple identities. that awareness became my foundation as an actress, noticing the layers in people and bringing them to light.
Storytelling helps me process the world - it allows my passion and curiosity for people’s differences to create a more open, empathetic world.
My training spans Florida (Musical Theatre & Arts Administration), New York (Meisner & voice), and Barcelona (clown and theatre techniques). Now based between Barcelona and the U.S., I work across stage, screen, and studio while balancing rehearsals, writing, coaching, and building a business.
Outside of my craft, I love exploring nature, learning Spanish and Catalan, and sharing laughs with loved ones.
My motto? Use art to empower others and give a voice to the unheard.
Thanks for being here — I’m looking forward to connecting.
with love,
