about me
I’m an actor, theatre director and dramaturg, artist educator, and sometime writer, originally from New Brunswick. I love working with text, whether I am the one saying it, or I’m dissecting and analyzing it for someone else. I’m passionate about stories. Everything is a story. And I am driven to tell them. I have a deep calling to history, especially women’s history. I currently live and work in Toronto.

My career is deeply impacted by who I am outside of it. I am inspired and rejuvenated by the outdoors. I have been known to run up to trees and touch them. I love good food and beverages of all kinds. I am in perfect peace in my kitchen. I read a lot of books, and I love learning. My favourite things I own are pieces inherited from my grandmother.
I live and work on the traditional territory of many nations, both recorded and unrecorded, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.. Toronto is part of Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands, and is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
I am originally from New Brunswick, and grew up on the land of the Wabanaki (Dawnland) Confederacy and the Mi’kma’ki. That land is part of the Peace and Friendship Treaty.
