She has produced countless shows, providing space for people to share their art on stage, and she's been teaching regular burlesque and body confidence workshops in Toronto as well as all over North America for the last 12 years. Imparting her confidence and self-love to students and audiences alike - she loves encouraging people to love themselves inside and out.
