Shera's formative years unfolded in the quaint French town of Kapuskasing, Ontario, a place that also holds significance as the hometown of renowned director James Cameron. As she entered adulthood, Shera made the bold decision to relocate to Toronto at the tender age of 18, driven by a passion to forge a career in modeling.
Throughout her tenure as a model, Shera had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most esteemed photographers in the industry, including the likes of Marcus Klinko, George Whiteside, Ian Cuttler, and the iconic Bryan Adams, who traded in his rockstar status for a camera. Additionally, she worked with director and occasional photographer Andrew Thomas Hunt, who was immediately struck by her captivating on-camera presence.
When conceptualizing the character of Karma, Andrew instinctively recognized Shera as the ideal candidate for the role, despite her having no prior experience in acting. Her subsequent audition solidified Andrew's hunch, and although initially hesitant to take on such a demanding role, Shera rose to the challenge with remarkable ease.
To prepare for her new role, Shera embarked on an intensive learning journey, taking acting lessons, studying martial arts, learning how to handle a variety of weapons, and even attending a weekend workshop in the art of pole dancing. The end result is a testament to her remarkable versatility and captivating screen presence.
However, fans of Shera's work should not expect her to rush into her next film project, as she is unapologetically content with her decision not to pursue a career in the spotlight. In fact, Karma may potentially be her only foray into acting, making her a rare and intriguing talent in the world of cinema.
