“I have done a lot but I think the people who got me here are more important than what I have accomplished. 

First of all, my Mom and Dad are my foundation. They gave me the space to experience the wonderful and magical world of theatre. Thank you for the ponies, the music and dance lessons and all the love that made all my beautiful dreams come to life. 

I would also like to thank Savage Society for everything they have done for me. I would not have this artistic career without their unfaltering support. Kevin and Chelsea, thank you for teaching me the true meaning of loyalty, mentorship, community and how powerful storytelling can be.  

Last but definitely not least, I would like to thank the Métis Nation of Alberta and Audrey Poitras for her 28 years of leadership. I would not be here today without all the Métis leaders in Alberta who came before me. Thank you for giving us our stories back.”
