I credit my acting career to my Aunt Cher who, when I was a kid, was the first to tell my mom that ‘this behaviour isn’t normal’. My high school drama department and a culty extra-curricular acting class helped me land my first gigs as a teenager and encouraged me to apply to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. After graduating with my BA, I toured the UK in a production of Romeo and Juliet, falling in love and dying daily (sometimes even twice) for a year. Since then I’ve been working in theatre and film across Canada. 

Some favourite theatre credits include playing Viola, Ophelia and Imogen at Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach; Tarragon Theatre productions like The Summoned, Hamlet, Bunny, and Post-Democracy; being the team captain of the Howland Company’s The Wolves (Crows); and playing Juliet and Helena in High Park. Some TV credits include Nurses, Anne with an E and Saving Hope, but my favourite work is the shorts and web series I’ve made with my work-wives. If you're in the mood for some millennial ennui check out BUDZ, or At Your Feet to experience a day in the life as a shoe shiner, or join the 7 million people who have watched Mom & Me. 

Acting is such a delightfully strange human instinct. It encompasses the ugliest narcissism of our culture and the quivering nerve of our collective conscious. I’ve now become that slightly jaded person who tells young actors “if you can imagine yourself doing anything else… do that” but I’m also continuously humbled by the privilege and necessity of imagining what it’s like to walk in other people’s shoes. I believe that simple act is something the world needs more of.
