One day the thought came to me…

“Every youth living in a First Nation community deserves the same training and career opportunities in acting and filmmaking as we get here in the city!”

"Acting & Film making has been my dream since I was a kid. It's been the driving force behind my passion and has given me an adventurous free spirit lifestyle with travel, new experiences and a surreal career being in tv & movies. Everyone deserves a chance to pursue their dreams and it's my mission to try and lead by example. 

I've been honored and privileged to work with youth in First Nations communities for the past decade. They have inspired me with their ambitions, talents and innate understanding of storytelling. They have all the talent they need, they now need the hands on experience and training to help guide them in the next steps for the Arts."

“Working with First Nation youth is one of my favorite things to do! The laughter, their quick humour and their honesty. They melt my heart!”

Being asked to join the Road to Freedom team was an instant yes! Having the chance to introduce Videography and Photography to the youth has been a very uplifting and exciting adventure. The youth are so talented and eager to learn it has driven my passion for the arts even deeper.

Growing up in the theater and drama programs I quickly discovered the wonderful art of performance. It gives you so many tools to help you in every day life. It builds your confidence, helps you to communicate your words and throughts, opens you up to team work and the importance of collaboration.

Filmmaking and producing is something I never saw myself doing as an adult and I am so glad it turned out this way. I love everything about producing movies, it’s like one big puzzle for me and I love puzzles!

I have had the previliage of meeting so many talented youth over the years and I really hope they continue to chase thier dreams and passions! Skies the limit for this amazing youth and we are here cheering them on every step of the way.
