Cecilly was the student who always opted for the spotlight, choosing presentations and skits over written reports whenever possible. Despite years of competitive sports attempting to divert her attention away from the stage, she found her true calling in grade 11 when she was cast in a Cinderella pantomime.
As a graduate of the University of Victoria, Cecilly earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, balancing her academic pursuits with community performances. She was a mainstay on the Victoria stage, appearing in several musicals before taking a chance on Theatre Under The Stars' production of Hairspray, where she landed the iconic role of Motormouth Maybelle under the direction of Sarah Rodgers.
Since then, Cecilly has had the privilege of performing in numerous stage productions with local theaters, including The Arts Club, Pacific Theatre, Carousel Theatre, Urban Ink, and Geekenders. Her powerful alto voice, bold acting, and affinity for movement have solidified her reputation as one of Vancouver's top triple threat artists.
Cecilly's talents soon extended to the world of television and film, with numerous national commercials and appearances on the Junos with Canadian recording artist Daniel Caesar. She made her television debut on Man In The High Castle (Prime Video),and continued to book roles in Virgin River (Netflix),and Supernatural (CW). Fans can look forward to Cecilly's recurring role in season 2 of NBC's Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, as well as an upcoming feature film on Netflix in 2021.
When not busy on set or performing in a show, Cecilly trains with Jeb Beach and Associates. She is also a proud alumnus of the Arts Club Actors Intensive, having worked under the guidance of Dean Paul Gibson, Program Director, and Scott Bellis, Head Instructor.
