Biography

Notable American-Canadian actress, born in South America to a rich cultural heritage of German and Native American descent, boasts fluency in Spanish as a second language.

Raised in a traditional household, she discovered acting as a means of self-expression, a hobby that would eventually blossom into a successful profession in Canada. Her early forays onto the stage were facilitated by the guidance of esteemed instructors, including Valerie Robertson with 'Theater 5', Sears & Switzer in Ottawa, and Calvin Green in Toronto, where she honed her craft using the Meisner Technique. Her academic pursuits led her to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queen's University.

Seeking further refinement, she traveled to London, England, to train at the prestigious Actors Center, and later, in California, she had the opportunity to work with renowned instructors such as Terry McGovern, Lyle B. Hill at Weist-Barron-Hill, Ed Hooks, and Elaine Clark.

Beyond her passion for acting, she has a deep love for filmmaking and storytelling, which led her to explore the realm of producing. She made her feature film directorial debut with the critically acclaimed 'Sophie's Rules', a testament to her dedication to her craft.
