Born and raised in Calgary, I moved to Toronto in 2014 to study acting at Toronto Metropolitan University, where I now teach fourth year students “Professional Preparation”.
I work as an actor/director and filmmaker, whose previous short works have been programmed and awarded at festivals including VIFF, Whistler, Fantasia, DWF: NY, Chattanooga, TIFF Next Wave, and stream on CBC Gem.
I recently wrapped production on my debut feature film Young Female Playwright, written by and starring Ellie Moon, featuring Karen Knox, Colin Mochrie , and Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll. Rock on!
As an actor, I have appeared in Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, alongside drag queen Priyanka in OUTtv’s It’s All Sunshine and Rainbows, and in short films screening at TIFF, Festival de Nouveau Cinema, Cannes, and Inside Out. I am a full ACTRA member, and am represented by The Characters.
I have worked as a story editor on both short and feature films, editing scripts, plays, and novels.
I am a member of avant-garde dance theatre company Rock Bottom Movement, operating as a writer, dramaturge, and performer. We have worked in residency at the Stratford Festival, Canadian Stage, The National Ballet of Canada, Toronto Dance Theatre, in Montreal, Calgary, and St. Johns. Our work has been awarded with numerous Dora Mavor Moore Awards and honestly f**king rocks.
I teach film workshops through REEL Canada, empowering high school students to explore their career options in the Canadian film industry.
