She’s a talented British-Canadian actress who has made her mark across film, television, and stage. Known for her compelling performances, she’s perhaps best recognized for her role as Ronnie Lee in the beloved series Schitt’s Creek. Over the years, she’s built an impressive body of work, including standout appearances in the TV drama Mary Kills People, the gritty 2002 crime thriller Narc, and the heartfelt 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl.

Before stepping into the spotlight, she was already deeply involved in the arts. As a young girl, she sang in choirs, took part in school plays, and even performed poetry readings—early signs of her creative passion. She went on to study communication and theatre at Mount Royal College in Calgary, laying the foundation for her future career. Her big-screen debut came in 1994 with the film Stalked, marking the beginning of what would become a dynamic acting journey.

Born in London and raised in Jamaica, she moved to Canada with her family during her teenage years—a pivotal shift that shaped much of her personal and professional path. In March 2020, during a particularly difficult time globally, she shared a deeply personal loss: both her cousin and her cousin’s husband had tragically passed away from complications related to COVID-19. It was a moment that highlighted not just her resilience, but also the human cost of the pandemic. Through it all, she continues to inspire with her artistry and strength.
