Career

In 2012, she played "Tisha",[5] the lead role of a fifteen-year-old girl who must choose whether to go through an unplanned pregnancy. The play, which was aimed at teens in the Dutch Caribbean and the Dutch Kingdom, addresses issues such as tradition, sexual morality, and personal choice.[6][7] The play was written by Albert Schoobaar, who also wrote "Deconstruction of Edsel K.". Tisha was produced by Teatro KadaKen. The play ran from March to November 2012 at the youth theatre "La Tentashon" in Willemstad.
