Favourites
Favourite charity: Kids Cancer Care
Favourite game day song: Any Shania Twain song!
Favourite style of dance: Jazz and Hip Hop!
Favourite thing about Calgary: Calgary has such a strong community bond. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand to whoever needs it. More specifically, the arts industry in Calgary is so rich in diversity, culture and community. I love that I can continue to pursue my performing arts career, while only being a hop, skip, and a jump away from my hometown in the mountains!
Favourite pastime: Dancing, of course! But if I had to pick something other than dancing, it would be camping in the summer months with my family.
Favourite Book: ‘The Starless Sea’ by Erin Morgenstern
