About

I am an Actress, Singer, Writer & Model based in Toronto, Ontario.I am a full member of ACTRA, a member of WIFT, where I am currently doing a mentorship program, as well as a recent new 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.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. The following spring, I received my Theatre Performance Diploma from Holland College.In 2020, I began to get more involved with the film industry taking courses through Film PEI, as well as working on commercials/music videos and began writing my first feature.I went back to school the following year, and received my Project Management certificate in 2022. Afterwards, I moved to Toronto, where I took an Acting for Media program and began to develop my network, continued working on more projects including short films/music videos as well as modelling jobs. I then graduated the Acting for Media program in 2024.Upon completing school, I finally finished the feature length script titled "The Art of Knowing You," which we developed into a short film completed as of January 2026. We are currently making our festival rounds with the film.I have also released two singles "Good Enough" (2023) and "See Me" (2025.)I enjoy going out to industry events, working out, heels/pole classes, swimming and being near water in general, expanding my knowledge of psychology & spirituality, learning languages, writing, singing, playing the ukulele and guitar and spending quality time with friends/family.
