Scene 08 · About

Fifth-generationAlbertan.

Jocelyn found acting in late 2020 and hasn't slowed down since: Netflix series, Lifetime and Shudder features, and the lead in an action film where she did her own stunts.

When Alberta didn't have enough roles, she started making her own. She writes, directs and produces through Prickly Rose Entertainment, hosts events and panels across the province, and co-founded the Indie Film Throwdown Foundation.

Off set, she's an adventure mom in the mountains: snowboarding off her snowmobile in winter, mountain biking and wake surfing in summer.
