Welcome to my official website! I hope you enjoy it.

I started acting in high school in North Vancouver, B.C... I was dancing at the time, jazz and modern, so I was very active in our musical theatre department. Most of my spare time was spent in there practicing dance routines for musicals. I loved it! But I was too shy to audition for the drama productions, as much as I loved the class. High School was when I started modeling and where I discovered my love for being in front of the camera. I took a five year break after high school where I did a lot of other jobs and studied marketing. But I missed acting too much so when I returned there was no holding me back. And what an adventure it's been so far! I've filmed in France, The Czech Republic, Mexico, New York, Dallas, LA, Calgary, Winnipeg, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Illinois. I love to travel. My favorite places are Maui, Florence and Prague. I try to get away every year. It's also a great excuse to take photographs. I'm working on putting a show together to feature my art work and photos, and every year my friends and family get a Christmas card of some wintery shot I've taken.

I also love to teach and coach other actors. Right now I'm teaching 2 adult classes and I recently went to New York to coach an actress for her Network testing on All My Children.

Well that's me in a nutshell! Enjoy the photos and demo reel. I always appreciate the letters of support I receive and would love to hear from you.
