She’s a Canadian actress, director, and writer who has made a name for herself in popular productions like The Man from Toronto, Heartland, and Wynonna Earp. Over the years, she’s gained recognition not just for her on-screen talent, but also for her inspiring voice—especially through her TEDx talk titled Chasing Dreams and Beginning Again, which has racked up over half a million views on YouTube. It’s safe to say that her journey has resonated with many. Before stepping into the spotlight as an actress, she spent 12 years working as an elementary school teacher—a chapter of her life that shaped her deeply. And on a more personal note, she shared a heartfelt moment in 2023 when she posted a touching photo with her mother on Instagram to celebrate Mother’s Day. Her story, full of transitions and heartfelt choices, continues to inspire.
When she was younger, she absolutely loved playing video games — it was more than just a hobby, it felt like a big part of who she was. Fast forward to later in life, and she actually got to live out one of her childhood dreams by lending her voice to a character in Splinter Cell Blacklist and also in Ubisoft’s The Division. Can you imagine? That kind of opportunity doesn’t come around every day. Oh, and speaking of passions, she shares her home with a sweet pet dog named Zelda — yes, after that Zelda — which only proves how much she’s always been connected to gaming culture. She really has blended her past interests with her present in such a meaningful way.
