About Me

As an actress, I am a bit of a late bloomer, and as a result, I’d describe myself as enthusiastic, determined, and optimistic. I am non-union, available to work in person in Canada and in remote audio recordings worldwide. I am open to many areas of film and audio work in order to gain experience in my goals of building my acting career and honing this time-honoured craft.

I jumped into acting in 2021 with 2 roles in live community theatre, first as Hippolyta in Shakespeares’ Midsummer Nights’ Dream and then, as the nasty Mrs. Reed in the Brontë classic, Jane Eyre.

In 2022, I landed two student film roles: a concerned and overbearing mother in Skye’s the Limit, and the evil nosy neighbour in a supernatural horror called The Thing in the Closet. Neither of these went on to be publically presented but my exposure to learning about film production and the overall experience was fantastic. In the commercial industry, I appear in a Yorkville University Master of Education Ad, and in Canadian musician, Eric Punzo's music video for the single If I told you that I loved you, in a supporting role (see media page).

Voice work is an area of focus and notable success. Also in 2022, I was cast in the audio podcast Girls Night Out written and produced by Mary Labrie, as the unscrupulous corporate villain Daphne Mallard, and our team went on to win the Australian Fictional Podcast Award in 2022. Although my character arc was completed in Season 1, I have been invited back by Mary for another role in Season 2 of Girls’ Night Out, which is currently in production.

In early 2023, I was cast in another audio podcast, Better Men Elsewhere written by Angelo Spiritu of Chiral Studios, as a rebellious member of the ruling class Urie family. For this role, I learned to speak with an Appalachian accent and have had enthusiastic feedback from the production team. I loved the challenge and am up for more. I’m excited to see where this role leads over the coming months.
