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!

Modeling experience:Beginner, starting out
I have posed for both headshots and dance photography for students getting into photography professions. When I was ten, I was in a small runway fashion show for a children's clothing line. In my career training, I was asked to model an active wear clothing line. My photo was placed on all the pamplets. You can see a video with end photos on You Tube. 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. Recently with dance I was featured by Keyano College as a model/dancer for their dance program.
