Wendy is proud of her achievements. When she was 25, she shocked herself and the modelling industry by winning the Prestige Pageant in Toronto over 100 other contestants. More recently, you may have seen Wendy in her role as the courtroom stenographer on CBC's Street Legal . She has also been featured in a number of commercials and print advertisements. Her broadcaster's teeth were cut as a reporter for YTV's Streetnoise and she worked as CTV's sports reporter for the 1994 Disabled Ski Championships.
