Nancy is originally from Winnipeg, studied at Queen’s University and then  trained at The National Theatre School, in Montreal. She was among the first  members of the Young Company at the Stratford Festival, which soon led to  the creation of Soulpepper Theatre Company, of which Nancy is a founding  member. (She continues to represent the Founding Members on the  Soulpepper Board.) 

Nancy has worked across the country, although her base continues to be in  Toronto. Anyone who has attended theatre in the city has seen Nancy in many  productions in many venues. Nancy has worked in film and television,  although she is quick to point out that at almost 6-feet tall, casting directors  have tended to overlook her.
