What's a Goal Without Intention?

As an actor, stunt performer, and martial artist, I thrive on the adrenaline of storytelling through movement and emotion. My journey began with a passion for martial arts, which shaped not only my physical abilities but also my dedication to the craft of performance. With each role I take on, I immerse myself in the character, blending my skills in choreography and combat to create authentic and captivating scenes. Whether I’m performing daring stunts or delivering heartfelt dialogues, my goal is to engage and inspire audiences. I believe every story deserves to be told with intensity and authenticity, and I am committed to pushing the boundaries of my art.

A Rebel With a Cause

As a 12x World Champion Martial Artist, Actor, Stunt Performer, Action Choreographer, and former Podcast Host, driven to break down gender stereotypes and fight for equality. My passion for action led me to become the only Canadian to train with Jackie Chan's Stunt Team in Beijing at the first-ever JCStuntCamp for Youth. You might know me from my double nunchuck performances with the Barenaked Ladies or my starring role in KT Tunstall's 'Human Being' music video. My mission? To inspire change through action, skill, and dedication.

Fun fact: I'm a total introvert too!

Years of Experience

As a 16-year-old 3rd Dan, martial art tricker, actor / stunt performer and martial arts weapons enthusiast from Canada, nunchaku, 3-section-staff, katana and extreme martial arts have been my primary focus for the past 11 years.

The Global Stage

While I continue to compete locally and abroad, in the past 6 years, I've devoted much of my focus towards my education and training in the area of stunt/action choreography and performance.

The Why

Taking a bold stand for my convictions, I aspire to be a beacon of inspiration to women and girls across the globe. We are the fabricators of innovation, the weavers of creativity, the champions of education, and the architects of leadership. United, we embody a future without boundaries - limitless in every way!

It's All About What We Create Together

In 2017, the stage lights beckoned, and I joined Barenaked Ladies in a performance that would forever change me. Fast forward to 2019, the stakes were higher, the crowds larger—15,000 beating hearts at the celebrated DTE Music Centre in Detroit. Both exhilarating and daunting, those moments cemented my undying passion for the rush of live performance. It's a transcendent experience. Live shows aren't a solo journey—they're a mutual exchange, a shared energy. It's not just me up there—it's a communion, a magical concoction we brew together in real-time.

I Do It Because I Love It

As an individual who achieved a first-degree black belt at the age of 8, diligently practices with nunchucks, double katana, and the sānjiégùn (3-section-staff), and is proficient in bo, escrima, and kamas, while also delving into the realms of stunt performance, fight choreography for film, and archery, I know a little bit about dedication and resilience in the face of challenges. With a passion for martial arts tricking, tournament participation, and a life brimming with diverse pursuits, my life is full and my journey is fueled by a profound love for the craft.

You Are Not Limited By the Opinions of Others

Is it the spotlight, or becoming known as a celebrity that draws me in? Neither. I’m actually an introvert and don’t like being the center of attention but, I'm a story teller.

Think for a moment about a TV or movie character who inspired you to be more. To do more. To be kinder. To open up to the possibility that you are made for more. That you are not limited to what others say you are. Having the opportunity to challenge myself, show up and inspire people by taking on the persona of another, or create a world of escape, even for a moment is “my why”.

The Actor

The Power of Self Discovery

I am drawn to the art of stunt performance not for the thrill or glamour it may bring, but for the transformative power it holds. Through the words of those who have ventured into this realm before me, I have heard tales of resilience, discipline, and the ability to push beyond perceived limits. Stunt performance is not just about executing daring feats; it is about embodying courage, dedication, and the willingness to challenge oneself in the face of adversity. It is through this art form that I see the potential to not only entertain but to inspire, to push boundaries, and to showcase the strength that lies within each of us.
