“What do you want to be when you grow up?” A question that most of us start to get asked in early childhood, and a question I always had a hard time answering. I just wanted to be a kid, play in the creek with my friends, and eat ice cream. I enjoyed what was happening in front of me. The ‘now’ if you will. But since the expected answer to that question is usually an occupation, I’d answer with that. And I always found that answer changing. One week a professional ice hockey player, the next a neurosurgeon, the next an ice cream taste tester(it’s an obsession ok). Eventually I realized I could never just be one thing. I wanted to be everything.

I was always infatuated with movies, and would stand in front of the TV repeating lines and doing my best imitation of every character that came on screen. Once I was old enough to learn that the characters were not actually real, that they were just regular people who got to become someone/something else, I knew that I wanted to ‘be’ just like them. Out of high school, I attended the Toronto Academy of Acting for Film and Television, and after a brief stint working in the industry, I enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I studied in both Los Angeles and New York, where I’ve discovered my love of live theatre. I still don't really know what I want to be, but I have no intention of growing up any time soon.
