Career
Roy's screen debut was in 2010 with the role of Jane in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days.[https://web.archive.org/web/20200630010403/https://www.ctv.ca/movie/30-Days-of-Night-Dark-Days-vid1493223 CTV.ca] 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.
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.{{cite news|title=Geekboro Film Festival|url=http://www.thetimesnews.com/20150402/fan-film-fest-set-for-may-1-7/304029861|accessdate=20 April 2017|agency=Gatehouse Media|publisher=The Times News}}
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.{{cite web|last1=Maher|first1=Michael|title=DJI and Film Riot Launch an Online Film School|url=https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/dji-film-riot-launch-online-film-school/|website=Premium Beat|date=3 June 2016|accessdate=20 April 2017}}
