I am an outdoor enthusiast. My friends all wonder why I didn't get into acting or performing as I am always entertaining. I can manipulate my personality to act out serious roles, comedy roles and even cartoon character voices. I am a fast learner and willing to work as hard as someone needs me too. I have high standards for myself and am very attentive to the small details in everything. I am fearless, active and passionate in all I do. I am willing to do my own stunt work, up to lead roles. I strive to better myself each day, both mentally and physically and looking for new ways to improve and stretch my limits. I am a person who is easy to work with, can work as an independant or as a group. Currently, I work for the Government in Canada. I am looking to find new challenges and new ways to motivate myself. I have always been interested in acting, modelling and dance and hope to achieve these new heights. If you pick me, you won't be disappointed!

Just type in "RCMP Active wear shoot". In 2012 I competed and won the title of Mrs.Wood Buffalo and Miss Congeniality in the first ever beauty pageant in my city.
