Author/Actor/mother of 2

As a kid I saw so many things I never needed to see. Drugs, violence, neglect, sexual abuse. Our house was raided in 2012 and my sister and i were placed in foster care for a few months and then As a young teen (15) my mother went to jail leaving me to take care of my little sister (12) . Things spiraled out of control. My mom got out eventually on house arrest but ahe didnt get better. Now she used needles. My child hood over.
I was Dating an older abusive man, I was held against my will, i had a stillborn due to abuse and escaped to Hope bc in 2016. There i meant my daughters dad. I moved to Vancouver shortly after. Ive lived here now for 8 years.
We had a tumultuous relationship and again stuff spiraled out of my control.

With strength, and a will to survive, I made it through everything and more.
I built a life for myself all on my own.
I'm an author now, i share my trauma so people know that, they're not alone.
I volunteer with the pac at my daughters school,I volunteer with non profits and I model and do backround to fill my time.
I had a second daughter in 2021 survivng hyper emesis gravidarum a second time . I'm going to be in a popular TV series coming up in 2025.
