She was born in Canada and moved to Florida as a teenager, where she did a course in film and television. Then came a New York movie, Indian Fish In American Waters. She came to India to integrate art and social work. She wants to act and use the money she earns to empower women in India.

When asked about the men, she replies, "The men here are already independent, it's the women I want to help."

This she plans to do by teaching arts and crafts.

In Mumbai, she wanted to act in art films. But she found a break difficult and so she turned to commercial movies.
