Dear Friends:

I have had an amazing 4 days in San Diego and returned to Hollywood late yesterday for a project I am filming on Friday and Saturday.  I toured around Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Disney Town, the Crystal Cathedral, and went to an incredible restaurant on the pier called Ruby's.  I loved their old fashioned thick milkshakes.  They reminded me of the yummy shakes at Peter's Drive-In in Calgary, AB.  I walked along the pier and saw the cutest little seal swimming around, while people were fishing.  If I could have taken him home, I would have.

Yesterday, was my regular weekly training session with Sharon which ... Read More »

Hi Country Music Fans:

Wanted to let you know that Paul Brandt just released his new music video from his current album "Risk."  It is a very powerful and inspirational song that has an extremely important message.  I feel very blessed that I had the opportunity of being a part of this project.  Seeing the music video gives me goosebumps every time I watch it because of its powerful message.  I know that my personal story of being homeless 10 years ago taught me valuable lessons about taking risks in life.  I am really glad I did because now I am living my dreams of working in the entertainment industry as a model, actor, and dancer.

Hello Hollywood!

It has been an amazing time since my arrival in Hollywood on May 20th.  My days have been action-packed, so I want to apologize for missing my regular Wednesday Blog entry.

I left Toronto on the 18th to head back to my home in Calgary, AB so I could spend some quality time with family and friends.  It was a great feeling to be home even if the time there was short.  The next day I flew to LA from Calgary.

As I was leaving LAX I met a really cool person named, Garrett who works for Janice Dick ... Read More »

buenas tardes!!

Today, was a very productive day as I prepare to head to LA next week.  My day started off with my regular routine; sipping on a hot cup of Tim Hortons creamy Hot Chocolate and reviewing my agenda before speaking with my coach, Sharon Moist.

Time passes by so quickly especially when you talk to Sharon. She makes our sessions so much fun and we cover a lot of topics during that hour.  Sharon is teaching me other important tools that include learning new strategies for marketing myself and how certain parts of the industry work.

Hey Everyone!

I began my day by feeding my pets, Jada, Bella, and Indigo, then beginning my private coaching sessions with my "fantabulous" industry coach, Sharon Moist.  The time passed by so fast during our training; it was such a blast that i didn't want it to end.

I am beginning to understand why people have coaches.  I've known that figure skaters, olympic athletes, and body builders...have hired coaches to assist them in their professional careers, but never really understood why.  I thought that it would be tough and boring, but it is actually a lot of fun and I have learned so much in just one Read More »

Hi Everyone:

Yesterday, I got the opportunity to work with one of the top Canadian Country Music Artists, Paul Brandt, as well as, the amazing crew from CMT and The Field Productions.  I started on set at around 2:00 in the afternoon.  Of course makeup is first; they gave me freckles and put this very sticky gel in my hair to make it look a bit stringy.  The second stop is a top priority on my list, which is craft services.  Yup, its the place where they give you awesome food to eat the entire time.   My favourite was the French Onion Soup, double < ...
