Fact

She was born in Sudbury, Ontario. At four-years-old, she moved to Salmon Arm, British Columbia and later to Prince George to attend the University of Northern British Columbia to pursue a bachelor of science in forestry. Every summer, she worked in the bush doing such jobs as mapping, brush cutting trees, research and engineering. During her last summer break, she moved to Victoria to sing and play guitar at "open mikes" to be more creative.

It only took another few months for her to book a recurring role on a Fox Kid's show where she had the opportunity to learn the business and she has been learning ever since.
