Experience-wise, I've been in 2 music videos and 4 short films as an extra for background acting (eg: ). I was also a supporting character in a trailer made for a film festival contest. Some where in between those adventures I had taken some on-camera acting courses with two casting directors: Ron Leach and Brian Levy, which was when I was based out of Toronto. It definitely helped my focus and I felt like I learned a lot. I would love to become more practiced at the craft in the future, and will hopefully take on my speaking roles. I am flexible with appearance (and my schedule, at the moment, as I am new to New Zealand). Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I've already had a few small photo shoots under my belt, but my interest isn't what I've done, but what I would like to do. I would LOVE to meet some creative minds and collaborate with some fantastic make-up artists, photographers, friends and just have some FUN, ARTISTIC, and IMAGINATIVE photo shoots! I would also love some head shots in trade for portfolio building - but I'd really just like to get to know my new city and have photo adventures. Nature shoots, creative make-up shoots - all in the name of loving my body, myself, and engaging in creative concepts. The more unusual, the better! Look-wise, I enjoy period looks. I also enjoy fantasy, Gothic, and androgynous looks. Hit me up in Wellington if you'd like to collaborate!

After taking choir in elementary school for years, it wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I sought any training. I was able to take singing lessons at 'Singer's Edge' in Toronto, Canada for about a year and a half. They helped me work on control and losing a few bad habits. I was also able to finally get back on a stage without completely breaking down. I've got a way to go still, so I'd love to continue with another studio so I can fine tune my voice even further.

I have obtained the following required certifications according to Alberta, Canada's statndards: First Aid Level C (with CPR and AED) Certificate, WHMIS Certificate, a Set Etiquette card (mandatory Set Etiquette course completion), an I.A.T.S.E. Local 212 temporary permittee status card. After acquiring my permittee status, with card in hand, I approached Seven24 Films in search of a Set Dec. (Dresser) position. I was happily surprised when I was offered a full-time Set Dec. Trainee position for the remainder of the filming for a new T.V. series (Season 1) that had begun taping in Calgary + surrounding areas. As my first official job in the film industry, it was an amazing experience. I fully understand the hours and effort that must be committed to such a job and I'm thankful to Seven24 FIlms for all the opportunities they provided me. To my lovely Set Dec. crew that help train and shape me to the best of their abilities, I'll always boast about you ;) - you all did amazing and I can only hope I lived up to all of your expectations!
