She’s a TV actress best known for her standout roles in popular series like Letterkenny, I Want You Back, Designated Survivor, and 21 Thunder—shows that really put her on the map. Over the years, she’s built an impressive resume, earning recognition such as an Outstanding Performance nomination at the 2021 ACTRA Awards. That kind of acknowledgment didn’t come out of nowhere; it was the result of hard work and dedication to her craft.
Her film debut came when she played Brennan in Sadie’s Last Days on Earth, a role that showcased her depth as an actress early on. But long before the cameras started rolling, she was already performing—she actually made her acting debut back in 2012 in a production of Beauty and the Beast. It’s kind of interesting to think about how far she’s come since then.
Before stepping into the world of acting, she had already been in the spotlight as a model and dancer. Those early experiences likely helped shape her stage presence and confidence. And speaking of influences, her father, Njacko Backo, is a well-known musician, so creativity definitely runs in the family. All these pieces—her background, training, and diverse talents—have contributed to her success. She’s truly become a name to watch in the industry.
Although she was born in Canada, her roots trace back to Cameroon, as she is of Cameroonian descent. During the gap year between high school and college, she pursued acting classes under the guidance of Jock MacDonald at Straeon Studios.
