I am an Actress, Singer & Writer based in Toronto, Ontario.I am a full member of ACTRA, a member of WIFT, as a member of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and spent the earlier part of my childhood in Québec, where I first learned French. I moved to Prince Edward Island when I was seven, and spent my remaining childhood years there.I became heavily involved with school plays, and started taking Music Theatre classes through the Confederation Centre of the Arts. I also took voice lessons, and was classically trained through the Royal Conservatory of Music, and began writing my own songs in 2017. I have also released two singles "Good Enough" (2023) and "See Me" (2025.)In 2018, I received the Governor General's Academic medal for highest academic standing, and continued my studies at Holland College for Theatre Performance.In 2019, I received my first film role as the Cashier in A Small Fortune.
