  • Description

    I'm a laid-back, down-to-earth gal from Alberta, Canada, who loves family, friends and exploring the great outdoors! I'm very sociable and enjoy living in community, but I also value quiet time alone to read, write and dream.

    With over two decades of equestrian experience, one decade of work experience in both the film industry and the food industry, I’m seeking opportunities to cultivate new relationships and explore new experiences.

    -------

    FUN FACTS:
    - Most days, I work from home as a voice over artist and audiobook narrator. I'm also an actress in film and TV.
    - I'm an equestrian, having owned horses most of my life. I competed in a variety of English disciples, Show Jumping being my specialty.
    - I started my first business when I was 12-years-old: training and selling horses.
    - I was a full-time caregiver to my grandma for 2 years after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
    - I love the outdoors! Hiking, biking, boating, exploring, etc.
    - I’m the eldest of four sibling (and the most responsible ;-) )

    -------

    MY STORY:
    Perhaps the most transformative experience of my life was when I fell into the role of a full-time caregiver to my grandma when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I later accepted an opportunity to write, produce and star in my very own short film inspired by the time I spent as her caregiver. My big vision from here is to expand that film into a full-length movie!

    -------

    MY WORK AVAILABILITY:

    "Whatever you find to do, do it with all your heart, as working for the Lord and not for men." (Colossians 3:23)

    I am very teachable, diligent, professional, hard-working, and live life with a contagious sense of enthusiasm. I put my heart into whatever task I'm given and do it to the best of my ability. I am seeking a situation where I can wake up every day with a sense of purpose and go to sleep every night knowing I’ve made a difference for someone in my own special way.

    I will need an opportunity that offers part time, flexible work, due to the spontaneous nature of acting opportunities which tend to come with just a few days notice (though they usually don't take me away for more than a few days at a time).
