She grew up in Löhne and was already performing on stage as a child and teenager with school drama clubs and youth theater groups. In 2020, she completed her acting training at the *Bühnenstudio der darstellenden Künste* (Stage Studio for the Performing Arts) in Hamburg.

In 2020, she was awarded the Seal of Excellence during the certification examination held by the VdpS (Association of German Stage Studios).

Her early engagements took her to various venues, including Dresden and the *Schleswig-Holsteinisches Landestheater*, where she has been a regular guest performer since 2022. There, her roles have included parts in *Die kleine Hexe* (The Little Witch), *Die Blechtrommel* (The Tin Drum), *Das Tattoo von Haithabu*, and *Cabaret*. In the 2025/2026 season, she will return to the theater to play the role of Sams in *Eine Woche voller Samstage* (A Week Full of Saturdays).

Sander lives in Hamburg. In addition to acting, she is also active musically, performing in genres such as rock/pop, a cappella, and choral music. Furthermore, she plays the drums, keyboard, and percussion.

Her other skills include dance, stage combat, kickboxing, pantomime, and conducting. She also works in the field of escape rooms and has experience working with children.
