From a young age, I grew up immersed in the arts. Much to my chagrin, I started taking piano and voice lessons at the age of 6. Practicing was not something I liked to do but today I can read music so that’s an awesome skill in my toolbox! Around the same time I also started taking ballet, jazz and other dance styles. Rather than catch the fly ball on my baseball team I was the girl who would make up dances in the outfield. Sorry Dad!

In high school, I joined the drama club and fell in love with the performing arts. My first role was as the Hoursecourser in a production of Dr. Faustus. I still don’t understand why we were doing that play?! I mean really. For 14 year olds?! Seems odd to me but what do I know….
After high school graduation, I left home and lived on campus at the University of Victoria where I turned my performing arts hobby into a professional pursuit. I graduated with a BFA in Theatre in 2004, and from there I moved back to Vancouver and started a theatre company.

I had no idea what I was doing but I jumped in with both feet and started what would become Twenty Something Theatre in 2006. During the following 12 years, as the Artistic Director, I lead the company from a small collective of twenty-something artists to a Jessie award-winning independent theatre company. As the Artistic Director, I helped to develop the voices of many young Canadian theatre artists as well as developed & produced the world premiere of 3 new Canadian plays: Prodigals (2011) and Us & Everything We Own (2013) by Sean Minogue, and The Out Vigil (2016) by Julie McIsaac. Remember the days of black & white headshots?!
As a theatre director, I directed numerous productions including both Tender Napalm by Philip Ridley and the world premiere of The Out Vigil by Julie McIsaac in 2016. These two productions were nominated for a combined total of 8 Jessie Richardson Awards including Outstanding Production and Direction. Over the years, I also worked as a designer and technician on over 30 productions with companies from across Canada including Robert Lepage’s Ex Machina. I trained & studied the movement languages of Viewpoints & Suzuki with the SITI Company's Anne Bogart & Ellen Lauren in NYC (and beyond); as well as, Mary Overlie's original Viewpoints. And, I was the Executive Producer for the adaptation of Prodigals into a feature film that had its world premiere at the Whistler Film Festival in November 2017.

Phew, that’s a lot, I know. I was a busy young lady, that’s for sure. And, the reason I kept so busy was because that way I wouldn’t have to deal with my own pain.. Then in 2017 everything began to change, I started to devise & create Resilio, a contemporary circus interdisciplinary work that explored trauma and resilience. This experience truly changed my life. I do not exaggerate. As a trauma survivor, it was the healing journey of this creative process that ultimately led me to the Expressive Arts Therapy program at Langara College.
TODAY
I am dedicated to supporting others on their own personal growth & healing journey’s, to go from surviving to thriving. I believe that within each & every one of us is a core essence that is curious, creative, & playful. Somewhere along the way, that gets lost. I believe in you, and the light & joy that exists within all of us..

In the summer of 2025, I wrote a book. That book is now a manuscript for my debut memoir, Rising Through the Clouds. To follow along as I embark on the journey of going from manuscript to published, sign up for the email list specifically dedicated to this book.
Plus, you can follow along with my current writing at my new Substack, “Sabrina & The Stars”. Conceived from the idea for Rising Through the Clouds, this Substack continues the conversation. It explores how the astrology of our birth chart offers insight and meaning into the constellations of our own stories.
