Life and career

She then followed up with a recurring role on Rescue Me and earlier in her career starred in the TV movie Wounded Heart, an emotional drama set in Texas, where her role as a grownup daughter finding love on her return to her hometown to see her ailing father saw her give a strong performance as a woman struggling between two worlds of city and country. As a native of Edmonton and Vancouver, she practiced figure skating two hours before and after school each day. She appeared in the feature films Forbidden Love, with Andrew McCarthy and Richard Chamberlain, and Arbitrage, opposite Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon.
