I am a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and yoga instructor. I travelled to Nelson British Columbia for my yoga teacher training with master teacher Karuna Erickson. I've also completed courses with DTS Fitness education and a comprehensive internship with Fortis Fitness and am Level 1 Nutrition coach with Precision Nutrition. My passion for movement work took me to Chicago for a training intensive in Suzuki technique with P3East Theatre Company and I have also studied Suzuki and Viewpoints with the New York based SITI Company and with Master Suzuki teacher Kameron Steele.
I hold an M.F.A in Acting from York University as well as a B.F.A in Music Theatre from the University of Windsor.

PERFORMANCE:
I have created two diverse solo shows. This One, an autobiographical journey through love, loss, and baking, and Someday, a short comedic piece in which seminar leader Pamela Steel deftly guides participants towards a cutting edg psychological technology called Someday, but then unexpectedly encounters an unplanned, unorthodox, and unexplainable lesson of her own.
I produced and performed the original twenty-five minute version of This One at the 2013 Hamilton Fringe Festival. I then expanded the show into an hour and produced it in Toronto. I was nominated for a My Theatre Award for Best Solo Performance. This One was then picked up by Port Stanley Festival Theatre for which I expanded it again into it's current and complete two-act version.
I have been seen in film festivals throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe in the award winning film Falling For Caroline in which I play the title character.
Selected credits include The Threepenny Opera (Soulpepper), A Midsummer Night's Dream (Festival of Classics), Steel Magnolias (Port Stanley Festival Theatre), South Pacific (Sunshine Festival Theatre) as well as appearing on the CTV series Dan For Mayor.
I grew up on a farm in South Western Ontario and live in Toronto.
