I am a graduate of Mount Royal University's Theater Arts diploma and have worked as an actor since 1999. I am an experienced bartender, server and professional dancer and model. I am comfortable with scenes that involve nudity/sexuality, go-go, club dancing and I perform locally with VanCity Showgirls. I have been cast and worked as an actor, dancer (choreography) and model in film and television, and I've worked many days as Photo still/S.A.E. in all of these aforementioned skills. Outside of my special abilities experience, my favorite thing is to be cast as passerby, patron, office staff or bar staff because they are naturalistic roles that keep me busy. I also have a lot of hippy/traveler/festival clothing and cocktail, gala/high-end event wardrobe as I love working these kind of scenes. Lastly, I am an experienced stand-in, and am available to work regularly in the Vancouver area.
