I was born and raised in Victoria, BC. I attended the University of British Columbia where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in First Nations Studies and a minor in English Literature. In 2008, I was accepted at the UBC Faculty of Law, where I am currently pursuing my Juris Doctorate with an emphasis in both criminal law and Aboriginal law.

I am a member of the Metis Nation of BC, and am very proud of that heritage. Being from a dual background affords me the opportunity to bring a unique perspective to discussions on Aboriginal rights and issues facing Indigenous peoples. My ancestry traces back to key participants in the Red River and Northwest Rebellions. Because of this, I approach every task from an Aboriginal perspective and keep with me at all times the principles for which many of my family members gave their lives.

In 2004, I was selected from thousands of participants to appear in a marketing and advertising package for Goldwell products. Although I had never previously sought out a modelling career, this opportunity inspired me to pursue that avenue. I was signed to an agency in Vancouver in 2006 and have been with them ever since.

In my spare time beyond my studies and modeling, I enjoy writing. You can check out links to my Fashion Blog and general Blog above, as well as find a link to a page where you can download several of my short stories. My style is very postmodern. I write in the same way that I see that world. I am also a collector of pandas. I have a collection of nearly 3,000 panda items that I have been amassing since I was eight years old. My other interests include trains, fashion, and mental illness/learning disabilities.
