About Me

My 'normal' job is as a social worker, working with kids & teenagers. I love it. The coolest job I've had though was working as the stand-in and body double for Parker Posey ("Kitty") on Superman Returns. Parker's awesome! It was one of the few times in my life that I woke up excited to go to work. I also think it's cool that there's bits of me in the movie, but you never know it's me you're watching. A hint though - they're my legs running at the end of the movie, not Parker's ;-).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are a lot of people I'd like to meet, mostly to say thank you for inspiring me. I've always admired Oprah and the work she has done to improve the lives of so many people. That's pretty inspiring. Jillian Michaels is a fitness guru to me and shows such a genuine care for others that seems rare today. I admire her dedication, knowledge and passion and am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her. She blows me away with her knowledge, heart and passion everytime she speaks. But I gotta say Michelle Bridges - you ROCK chick! I feel lucky to have the best damn trainer ever in you. Thank you for everything! Jodie Foster would be my answer to 'who would you turn gay for?'. I think she is amazing and insightful and connected and a brilliant actor. I'd love to learn from her. But I will always have a special place in my heart for Parker Posey. She became my favourite actress a few years ago when I worked with her and she is now also one of my favourite people in the world. I am honoured to know her. I'd like to meet more of myself too - get to know who I am better. It's an ongoing process, I guess.
