Early life
editRoy was born in Banff, Alberta, Canada to Teresa and Kurtis Roy. She was crowned Miss Teen Red Deer and Miss Teen Calgary in 2005.[4]
Roy has worked with charities since 2005 including the Leo Club, Students Against Drunk Driving, the Chive, and Operation Supply Drop.[4][5]
She says she built LEGO structures with her father when she was a child, but only started to build more professionally in recent years.[6]
Career
editRoy's screen debut was in 2010 with the role of Jane in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days.[7] Roy learned the art of bartending at Uva Wine Bar in Vancouver, Canada. She came up with the idea of “The Nerdy Bartender” after having a particularly bad drink at a dive-bar she used to work at called The Foggy Dew. She almost immediately began developing her show on YouTube and continued to do so for over a year. As she moved away from YouTube and towards Twitch, she recrafted the show into a live talk-show style format where she would interview guests while teaching them how to make various cocktails.[1]
In 2013, she designed her costume for her second fan film StarCraft: Hunt for Kerrigan, which was nominated for Best Action Short at the Geeksboro Film Fest in 2015.[8]
Between 2014 and 2015, Roy worked with YouTubers IFHT both in acting and producing capacities. The videos include How to be a DJ, How to be a Filmmaker and Bad Ways to Get Rid of Your Girlfriend. She also worked with YouTubers Film Riot shooting behind the scenes for a series of DJI commercials.[9]
Later in 2015, Roy played Harley Quinn in the Leo Award nominated fan film Nightwing: The Darkest Knight directed by Matthew Campbell.[10] Her work with the character was praised.[11][12]
At the end of 2018, Roy successfully sold The Nerdy Bartender to The Brewdog Network for a 7-episode season.[13] Almost immediately after its release in 2019, the show was picked up for a second season on the network DrinkTV which released in June 2020.[14][1] In June 2022, Roy was revealed to be a contestant on LEGO Masters Season 3 on FOX with partner Nick Della Mora. On Dec 14, 2022, Roy and Della Mora were announced as winners of Lego Masters Season 3. [15][16] After opening the park on Mar 31, 2023, Roy judged the first ever Junior Master Builder Competition at LEGOLAND in Goshen, NY. [17]
Roy was announced as the host and moderator for LEGO Master's "Behind the Brick" panel at San Diego Comic-Con in 2023.[18] [19][20] Collaborating with Iron Chef Cat Cora, Roy hosted a special event at the Montessori-inspired cooking classes of Little Kitchen Academy.[21] Roy returned to LEGO Masters with a surprise special guest appearance in Season 4 Episode 6 "Is It Brick?" [22]
