Career

Roy's screen debut was in 2010 with the role of Jane in. 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.

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.
Later in 2015, Roy played Harley Quinn in the Leo Award nominated fan film Nightwing: The Darkest Knight directed by Matthew Campbell. Her work with the character was praised.
At the end of 2018, Roy successfully sold The Nerdy Bartender to The Brewdog Network for a 7 episode season. 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.
