Born and raised in Montreal, I’ve made my home here in Israel for over 20 years. As a child, I played a munchkin in Oz, and “the little pink robot with the baby-blue eyes”. 30 years later, I rediscovered my acting chops and thankfully soon after got involved with the most amazing and welcoming community of The Stage TLV. My aim now is to learn about all aspects of the theatre: acting, producing, directing, set design, sound and lights, improv...the works. Dream roles: Wicked Witch / Evil Queen!
