Biography

Halia has been performing her entire life - first as a dancer, moving into choreography, and then into acting in her 40s. With many stage credits to her name in theatres across the Lower Mainland of British Columbia over the past 8 years, Halia decided to move into film and television in the past few years. To develop some insight and skills in this new medium, Halia has pursued acting classes at the Actorium, Actors Chapel, Jeb Beach and Associates, in workshops with Michael Monks, Edward Rea, and Larry Moss. Halia feels very fortunate to be represented by Natasha Trisko at Trisko Talent Management. From Zoom films to commercials, and from student productions to Disney, Halia has had the privilege of exploring diverse roles. Therapist, middle-aged mom, witch, washed-up cook, biker babe, woman with Alzheimer's, minister, grandmother, janitor, and of course - Older Woman. Imagine one 5'2" redhead carrying all those characters in her petite frame and you have Halia!
