I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia then moved to Calgary, Alberta when I was 10. In Calgary I trained and competed in multiple forms of dance and performed in summer theatre during my teenage years.



After high school I studied at the Mount Royal College theatre program in Calgary, Alberta. While training as an actor, I began my study of stage/film combat, a skill that has since become a passion. It was also at this time that, with help of my close friends, I began to create and produce short films.



I am now back living in Vancouver, but I have spent the last 10 years working in professional Theatre, Film and Television across Canada where I have had the pleasure of working in many facets of this business; from musical theatre to Shakespeare, from film to voice-over, from choreography to fight direction.

 

I love what I do and wouldn't change it for the world. 

 

On to the next adventure!
