Initially studying Science, Heather changed her major to Theatre, receiving a BFA from Simon Fraser University, where she appeared on stage in Antigone; The Cherry Orchard; Big Love; and Hedda Gabler. Upon graduation, she formed a company called Genus Theatre with five of her school colleagues, and co-wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the first four Genus shows, mixing live theatre with film, and setting the stage for her career.
