I’m an actor, model, and film-maker based in Western Canada (Yukon & Vancouver).
Landing my first ACTRA role in mid-2024, I’ve been continuing my professional acting / modeling career landing roles in short films, commercials, industrials, and fashion films, with work spanning both national and international markets.
In 2025, I appeared in multiple commercials and short films, including the lead role in the 16mm short How to Kill a Yeti, produced by California-based Pacific Film Company. I also modeled and performed in campaigns for the Japanese fashion brand KAPITAL, including both supporting and hero roles for their Fall/Winter 2025–26 collections.

I began my career as a Software Engineer in 2016, prioritizing financial stability while maintaining a long-standing interest in film.
Over 8+ years in government and startups, I developed into a technical generalist, working across DevOps, architecture, and client-facing roles.
I now work in tech on a contract basis, allowing me the flexibility to pursue creative work.
