What ‘hood are you in?

Currently SE Calgary in the McKenzie area!

What do you do?

I am a full-time university student at The University of Calgary in my 3rd year of my degree in Drama. I’m also a mom and spend most of my time raising my two young children. For work, I teach musical theatre and dance classes to young children!

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently working on Anonymous which is a 3 episode web-series, exploring the dynamics of an Alcoholics Anonymous group. The story investigates the trials and tribulations of addicts as they rely on the each other, their practices and their own self growth. It’s a deep look into the human condition, the decisions we make and
how we deal with the consequences.

Where can we find your work?
