  • I’m very grateful for all that I got to experience and learn doing the Artist Lab mentorship program. I met so many great people and got to work on a great project for the program (the TV pilot Queens of the Desert), which had a private industry screening event last year and is actively being developed into a show. Since finishing the mentorship, I have moved to Vancouver and secured film and commercial representation in Canada. Aside from producing and acting in a number of film projects as both an actor and producer here in Canada, my recent experience has also led me to being selected as a festival judge at the World Indie Film Awards in 2026. Would definitely recommend to any multi-hyphenate talent out there looking to challenge yourself!
