NYC-based Eva is a multi-award-winning 15-year-old actress with considerable experience in film, television, and theatre. She has undergone years of rigorous, high-level training across all areas of the performing arts.
In 2024, she earned her Grade 6 Advanced Acting Certificate from Trinity College London, and in 2025 she returns for her second consecutive year at the prestigious Juilliard Drama Summer Program in New York.
On screen, Eva starred as Penelope in the Go Iguanas movie series on the Premiere App and is widely recognised for hosting her own two-season TV talk show The BUZZ with Eva on OSN, where she interviewed leading filmmakers from across the Middle East. Her performance as Lucy in the 2021 short film Where Is Lucy? earned her accolades across numerous independent film festivals worldwide.
She recently wrapped production on two new projects: the indie film To God’s Ear, directed by Stan Schofield in Jamesport, NY, and the short film Dead Birds, directed by Joe Thayer.
On stage, Eva’s credits include Morgan in Knight at the Museum, Logan in The Great Christmas Cookie Bakeoff (KOTA Productions, New York), the title role in Annie the Musical, Fagin in Oliver Twist, and a principal role in Snow White the Musical Panto, performed at Dubai’s renowned Arts for All Theatre. Most recently, she portrayed Bottom in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at The St. Jean Theatre and took on a lead role in You Need Help at The Tank Theatre in NYC.
Eva continues to expand her vocal range as a soprano through advanced vocal training, hones her screen-acting skills with leading industry coaches, and sharpens her tap and hip-hop technique at Steps on Broadway. Off-stage, she is a passionate advocate for compassion and inclusion.
