PERFORMER

As a young gymnast, my passion was the choreography of my floor routines. My coach recognized my dance ability and ensured I was given a unique routine that would stand out as much as I did. I suffered a back injury in my early teens, which forced my retirement from gymnastics and I naturally gravitated to dance. I became recognized in my arts high school as a young talented dancer and was offered early admittance to our senior dance ensemble, usually reserved for grade 12 students.

In my senior year of high school I auditioned for our musical, and was granted a leading role. I completed an additional year of high school to take drama classes and do another musical and landed the role of Kate in Kiss Me Kate.  My director recognized a talent in me I had yet to explore. His support and encouragement changed the direction of my life. I went on to graduate from the musical theatre program at the Randolph College for Performing Arts, and honed my triple threat talents. I was nominated for the Governor General’s Academic Award and the Triple Threat Award for performance excellence, the only one of my peers to be nominated for both.

Since graduating, I have had the blessing to perform in many types of plays, musicals, events, tv episodes and dance shows. Most notably was the revival production of Numbers by Kokus Productions, a touching story of a Jewish family escaping the horrors of the holocaust.
