About me

I'm a classy, sassy redhead with a love for all things film. My specialty is playing complex, strong women and I take pride in being a chameleon who is different in every role I play.

Think: the broken-hearted villain who secretly saves puppies while exacting her revenge. The genius IT support girl with a drinking problem. The sex worker trying to put herself through med school. The sister, wife, or best friend that's always there – whether it's to give hugs and advice or help bury a dead body.
Acting experience:
Over a decade working in the Canadian film and theatre industry, including touring shows.
Additional skills:
Outdoor Sports: English-style Horseback Riding (jumping)
Indoor Sports: Figure Skating
Ball Sports: Volleyball, Soccer
Physical Sports: Yoga, Running, Martial Arts
Arts: Photography
Industry awards:
Selected in 2020 as one of just 100 women across Canada for Banff Spark, a development accelerator for women in media.
See IMDB for other film-related awards.
Additional information:
When I'm not performing, you can often find me working as a screenwriter or director. I also run Laughing Cat Productions, and my last two short films have both screened internationally and won awards.

If you think I'd be a good fit for a project you're casting OR crewing, please feel free to contact me directly.
