Debby was born and raised in Basel, Switzerland, which means her native language is Swiss. She also speaks German, French and English (and yes, she can do an american accent!).


Graduated with honors from College for social work and after working in a cafe and a pet store, she felt the urge to take the chance and follow her dream: To go to America!

With a return ticket in her luggage to switzerland she arrived in Los Angeles in July 2009.  After studying english for 4 months in Westwood, she decided to use her last 2 months to visit an acting school. It wasn't long until she found the famous Drama School Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Hollywood. She enrolled for one term which ended up becoming a full time 2 year program from which she graduated in 2011. 


With the knowledge, experience and new found passion for acting she got through her studies at Stella, she was ready to jump into this crazy pool of Acting!

Since then she has been cast as the Lead or Supporting Actress in numerous Short and Feature Films, two of them will premier in the next weeks and be submitted to major film festivals. Debby got called back three times at 'Lisa Fields Casting' for a Low-Budget SAG Movie, for the lead female, and made it to the final two.

She will be forever thankful for one of her teachers at Stella, Tim McNeil, who believed in her and cast her as the Lead female in their Final Playproduction of 'Angels in America' written by Tony Kushner. To work on a complex, moody and difficult character like 'Harper' helped shape her into the actress she is today.
