Patrizia's journey to the world of acting began in a working-class suburb near Cologne, Germany, where her artistic aspirations were initially discouraged by her family and friends. However, a turning point came when she was asked to perform in a school musical production of "The Jungle Book" at the age of 11, where she landed the role of "Mowgli" and discovered her passion for performing.
As she grew older, Patrizia continued to pursue her dreams, taking on roles in smaller theatres in and around Cologne and preparing to audition at Drama Schools with Anita Ferraris. In 2002, she made the bold move to Berlin, where she signed with a Talent Agent and began landing supporting roles and episode leading roles on major German TV channels.
A chance encounter with a taxi driver led Patrizia to meet Eleonore Zetzsche, a renowned German theatre actress who had worked with Bertolt Brecht. Zetzsche became Patrizia's mentor, training her privately and free of charge for a year, and instilling in her a strong work ethic and relentless pursuit of her goals.
After honing her craft, Patrizia collaborated with acclaimed Jewish filmmaker Lior Shamriz on his feature film A Low Life Mythology (2012),which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and the Jewish Film Festival. Following this experience, she decided to leave Berlin and explore a new world, eventually settling in New York City, where she met her third mentor, Ric Klass, who introduced her to the industry and helped her become a member of the "Ensemble Studio Theater".
Patrizia furthered her education by taking courses at the T.Schreiber Theater Studio and performing at the Gloria Maddox Theater in Shakespeare plays and other shows. However, she faced setbacks and considered quitting acting, so she took a two-year hiatus to gain a new perspective on life and worked at the "Shepheard Bar", one of Germany's best mixology bars, where she created a drink called "Scottish Farewell" that won first place at the Wenneker cocktail competition.
After rediscovering her passion for acting, Patrizia moved to London and committed to full-time studying, earning her BA (Hons) Acting degree at the London College of Music. She signed with her commercial agency, Northbridge Talent, and is currently working on her first project as an actress and writer.
