Jade is a proud non-binary Canadian, working artistically in both Canada and the US as an Actor, Writer, and Singer. They live happily in Greektown, Toronto with their partner Jesse, and rescue pup Banksy.
A lover of dogs, mountains, and all things caffeinated, Jade currently stars as Jo in Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill, touring across North America. They are also hard at work developing a new web series, working on their first poetry anthology and dabbling in the world of fiction.
Since graduating from St. Clair College in 2017, Jade has worked on shows across Canada, such as Mamma Mia! and Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert (Both with Stage West Calgary), and enjoyed a brief stint with Carnival Cruise Lines. They've diligently continued their dance training at Metro Movement, and found new depths as an actor through the Jane Moffat Studio and AMAW.
Having found their voice first as a singer, then as a songwriter, actor and activist, Jade now uses their platform to explore issues related to the LGBTQ+ community, feminism, and mental health.
