Biography
With her strong, demanding, stoic presence you will find some of the work of British actress Helen Koya in the action packed Assassin’s Creed instalment game (Assassin’s Creed IV ‘Black Flag’) playing the body and voice of the original character Patience Gibbs, a teen recruited into the Assassin Brotherhood by Aveline de Grandpré.
In addition to her many accolades she can also be seen on Netflix playing the role of Willa in Ronald D. Moore’s creation Sci-Fi ‘Helix’.
Her formal training began at the prestigious ‘The Brit School of Performing Arts’ in London. Followed by 3 years at the famous London drama school ‘Italia Conti Academy‘.
Fitness plays a major role in Helen’s life. She participated in her first Bodybuilding and Powerlifting competition in the fall of 2013 and continues to compete in both sports. She competed in the 2019 INBF Northern States Super Natural Pro-Qualifier & Transformation competition winning her group best figure presentation and earned a spot in their biggest show of the year (2019 INBF/WNBF Amateur & Pro World Championships). Having worked as a certified Personal Trainer & Spinning instructor she enjoys nothing more than empowering others in leading a very active and healthy lifestyle.
