Mette was born and raised in Gullestrup, a very small vilage
outside of Herning in the Danish countryside.
Mette always enjoyed traveling, her family were passionate
skiers at their annual skiing holidays in Austria, however she
spend most of her summer holidays in a hunting lodge in the forest
in the small island Langeland in Southern Denmark. Here she enjoyed
fishing for eels from the family's wooden rowboat and building
little snail castles in the forest.
Mette played several instruments from a young age and she still
enjoys creating music as well as using music in her work.
At the age of 15 Mette attended a Language school in
Bournemouth, UK, it was Mette´s first time out on her own, and she
fell madly in love with a Hungarian guy called Adam, who sadly
never returned her feelings.
At the age of 18, she went to Melbourne, Australia, to attend
year 12 at Lauriston Girls School - and to meet Kangaroos.
After finishing High School, Mette went back to Melbourne to
study at Melbourne Acting School, it was here she 'discovered' the
Meisner-technique, a technique she has worked with ever
since.
In Australia Mette also had her first Scuba Dive experience. She
started at the top by taking her license at The Great Barrier Reef.
Since then she has been a passionate diver, she has dived all over
Asia, in Africa and also in Denmark, which she wouldn't recommend
anyone unless they really like swimming in cold water with
ridiculously low visibility. At this point she has achieved the
level of Advanced, Rescue Diver.
Returning from Melbourne, Mette moved to Copenhagen, but after a
few years, she was longing for another adventure and went to Hong
Kong to study Drama and Film at Chinese University of Hong Kong.
She experienced a typhoon, learned to appreciate elevators and saw
most of Asia as well as learning a great deal about her self and
her craft.
Mette finished her courses in Hong Kong, returned to Copenhagen
and started taking classes at the Meisner School, Ophelia in
Copenhagen. Later on she moved to Berlin, where she attended
classes at Actor Space Berlin, fell in love with the city's relaxed
lifestyle and learned to speak fluent German.
At the moment Mette is working all over Europe, she still enjoys
skiing, diving and all other kind of water sports (it doesn't
really matter if the water is frozen or not).
If Mette were no longer able to pursue acting, she would
consider working in a nursing home for wounded hedgehogs, because
she feel bad about how many hedgehogs her dog has accidentally hurt
throughout the years.
