Which ‘hood are you in?
I have lived in Cityplace for three years now. I love how close to the waterfront it is, delicious, versatile food, lots of wonderful, friendly neighbours!
What do you do?
When I’m not auditioning, acting or creating films, I work at a dental office, I’m grateful to have the flexibility and understanding to take time off for acting.
What are you currently working on?
I am in the early planning stages of a sequel to Finding Orleen. My short doc follows my step-sister’s journey (she was adopted) to find her birth mother. This real-life Canadian story unfolded in our lives and had the most bizarre real-life plot twist! All three of my children are blood-related to her-just wild! That film will hit the festival circuit soon. Now that she has found her birth mother, she is starting a quest to find her birth father-so we will document on film, that journey. I’m so excited to begin production meetings. Also to see what happens with Finding Orleen – it’s such a compelling story.
Where can we find your work?
The easiest place to find my work is on Netflix & YouTube.
