Looking for a summer job led her to promotional modelling, and within one short summer she was working full time in various capacities including campaigns, fashion shows, print modelling, and promotional work. Kirsten then returned to University in the fall of 2008 and continued to maintain her 3.90 GPA all the while working part time as a promotional model.Within the next couple of years Kirsten began taking acting classes, signed on with a local agent, completed her Business Degree with a major in Marketing, and began acting in various films. Her love of the screen was born. In 2011 she attended the Motion Picture Arts program at Red Deer College, and spent the next year studying her craft under the mentorship of Larry Reese. Since then she has acted in over 15 short films, including HYDE which was a nominee at the 2013 Alberta Film and Television awards, and featured at the 2012 Edmonton International Film Festival, 8 feature films, a television series, numerous web series and commercials, and a handful of music videos.
