What has been your favorite role?
I really enjoyed playing Kelin on Fargo (season 5). It was amazing being on set for 3 days with a cast made up entirely of female actors and working with some of the best crew in the industry.

What do you do when you are not performing?
I do a lot of crocheting, hiking, wildlife photography, and watching movies. As a relatively new Calgarian, I’ve also enjoyed getting to know the city via the extensive bike trails as well!

What organization / activity are you involved with or passionate about that people would find interesting?
I’ve always been a major supporter of animal shelters, having fostered 40+ cats over the years. I also advocate for conservation initiatives, especially those concerning marine habitats after my extensive scuba diving experiences in Asia.

What Director would you like to work with?
Christopher Nolan. He is such a talented writer, director and all-around kind human being. I know he has filmed in Alberta previously, so I hope he comes back again for a future project!

What is your favorite movie and/or TV show?
My favourite movie is Inception, and my favourite TV show is probably
Arrested Development.

As a Performer, what is one thing you wish you would have known sooner?
I wish I had actually pursued acting earlier. I got a theatre degree back when I was 19 but I was so worried about job security and making enough money to survive that I didn’t actively pursue it again until 2 years ago.
