Eef is a freelance screen and stage actor, and moved in summer 2014 from Berlin to Cardiff.
Born as the second of three and the only female-socialized child of an interpreter and a teacher near Altenburg, the playing cards town, Eef spent the first formative years of childhood in Syria and Algeria, before the family settled in Oranienburg, close to Berlin. Eef enjoyed spending each summer with the grandparents in the countryside. Loving both pure nature and big cities, Eef travels a lot around the world.
Actor yw Eef. Mae Eef yn byw yng Nghaerdydd ond dod o Ddwyrain yr Almaen yn wreiddiol. Cyn symud yn yr haf 2014, bywodd Eef ym Merlin am fwy na undeg dau blynedd. Mae Eef yn siarad Almaeneg ac Saesneg. Ac serch dysgwr Cymraeg yw Eef ond mae Eef’n mwynhau i ymarfer yr iath yn fawr iawn. Dim yn unig mae Eef yn caru actio, canu a dawnsio ond mae’n dwli ar sgio a neidio yn yr amser sbar hefyd.
