BIO: Signa currently resides in Fredericton where she works at National Bank Financial.

In her spare time she is working towards building a full-time music business by teaching voice lessons, giving recitals and participating in community productions.

Signa attended the National Ballet School of Canada and L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec for four summers, and although she was given the opportunity to train for a professional career in ballet, she found her passion in music and theatre.

Signa completed a B.Mus. with honours in Vocal Performance at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.

Immediately following her first degree, Signa completed a M. Mus. in Opera Performance from the University of Toronto.

Upon graduation, she was a recipient of the Opera Tour Award, which included a trip to London, England to experience first class opera and theatre performances.

As well as being involved in numerous productions during university, Signa has performed throughout Canada for small opera companies. She has organized many recitals and recorded her first CD in 2006. She had wonderful experiences performing at festivals in both France and Italy. In 2007, she was on the CBC show Triple Sensation, and was in the top 8 of triple threat performers in Eastern Canada.

Signa welcomes every opportunity to try new things, discover her talents, follow her passion and become the best woman she can be. She speaks English and French fluently, and has taken courses in Spanish, Italian and German. Signa enjoys meeting new people, spending time with family and friends, and being active in her community. She performs regularly in New Brunswick, and has organized fundraising concerts, such as a benefit for the African Relief Fund. She was recently featured in Christmas at the Playhouse, a community theatre event involving many talented local artists to sold out performances.

Signa maintains an active and busy lifestyle. She values her health and by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet she keeps her energy levels high. Having a healthy mind and body stimulates positive energy, and keeps her motivated towards achieving her goals.

Signa feels honoured to be a delegate for Miss Universe Canada 2012, and believes that the title-holder would have the responsibility to be a positive role model for young women, and an ambassador for our country.
