She studied at middle school and high school at the International School of Prague. She studied ballet, but after developing a love for the stage and the craft of acting, she moved on to musical theater.

At age 13, she began working professionally and developed her résumé through acting opportunities on European and American productions that came through Prague.

Macy.
