I am a musician, songwriter, videographer, podcaster, and arts advocate based in Churchill, Manitoba. As the Northern Champions Coordinator with imagiNorthern, I work to support and expand the Northern Champions Network, helping artists, makers, and creative communities thrive. My role involves mentoring regional champions, supporting artist development, and helping grow the network's impact across the North.

I’m also an executive member of the Churchill Creative Collective, Churchill’s Winterruption Festival, Churchill Arts Council and Churchill Aurora Winterfest, where I help organize events, workshops, and performances. My passion lies in creating, performing, and lifting others up through the arts. I’ve been playing music for over 20 years, and my albums, Smiling Like a Sundog and an upcoming 2025 release, are inspired by the landscapes and stories of the North. I founded Churchill Entertainment, where I produce video content, live-stream events, and host the Churchill Chats Podcast to share local voices and perspectives.

Whether I’m performing live, documenting an event, or leading a workshop, I bring boundless energy and enthusiasm for creativity. My goal is to break down barriers to artistic expression and help others find new ways to share their stories.

Josephine graduated from the academy of acting in the spring class of 2009.  After devoting a few years to focus on her family and sewing career, Josephine had a sudden move to the town of Pinawa.  Once settled in she came to learn that Pinawa is home to the Pinawa Players which is the oldest continuing amateur theatrical group in Manitoba.

Josephine accepted her first roll with the Pinawa Players in 2018 as Insector Goring in Ken Ludwig’s A Games Afoot.  Post covid, Josephine was cast in Love, Loss and What I wore by Nora Ephron, Delia Ephron and Ilene Beckerman. In 2023 Josephine played Lucy in Norm Fosters On a First Name Basis. Recently Josephine was cast in the Ken Ludwig production of A Fox on the Fairway as Muriel Bingham.

When she’s not acting, Josephine is behind the camera as an amateur photographer.  She can also be found in her private sewing studio designing the latest clothing attire. Wherever she is, her dream to act never fades.
