About me

Growing up in small St Thomas, Ontario, my passion for performance and dramatic storytelling started since I began acting at only the age of 5. I continued with theater from elementary through secondary school, eventually graduating with honours from Brock University Dramatic Arts program with a concentration in performance. It was there I discovered a passion to integrate drama and technology, and founded my own company, Waking World Productions, and helping many other along the way.  Since my undergrad I have expanded my acting abilities to short film, TV, Background acting, as well as improving on my writing and own passion for film making.
