  1. Describe your most memorable role
    I played a teacher on Tales from the Loop, which was most memorable because the director, Jodie Foster, and I had 15 minutes of one-on-one time discussing the character and the dialogue, then another bonus 15 minutes at the end of the day in the audio studio recording the dialogue.  My scene was eventually cut, but I received a bigger reward from being in the presence of greatness.
  2. What is your goal in the acting industry??
    To become a career actor.  Meaning I have a decent income, where all I need to do is act with no other side hustles for income.
  3. What’s your favourite Canadian show of all time?
    The Racoons
  4. If you could do one thing differently when starting out in the industry, what would it be?
    Only listen to people’s advice who have the direct experience with success, and do not listen to advice from people who just throw out advice. 
  5.  If you had one piece of advice or tip to an actor starting out, what would it be?
    Learn to really enjoy the audition process.
