- I love all aspects of film and theater. Whether I'm acting, or directing, it just seems to me that it's the perfect fit for my life. That's why I constantly stay involved in theater, performing in around 4 musicals every year. I can't think of a better way to spend my time.
- My dream is to help develop the Canadian film industry even further. I know that's cliché, but I'm lucky because I have such incredible mentors to look up to. I want to do my part. I want to expand what this great country has going already.
