Background

Born in Victoria, British Columbia.[2] Faia was signed by a talent agent at the age of 8[3] and began taking classes at the Screen Actors Studio in Victoria by the time she was 9. After moving to Vancouver at the age of 22 Faia found some acting work in commercials and a small role in the Steven Seagal miniseries True Justice.[4] During this time she studied under Matthew Harrison at the Actor's Foundry.[5] She was also a server at the world famous Cactus Club Cafe.

Canadian Charity Challenge

In May 2013, Faia went with several other Rookie Blue coworkers to Machu Picchu, Peru to support UNICEF. Together with her coworkers (Charlotte Sullivan and Peter Mooney), she trekked throughout Peru[3] for nine days by camping and cooking in the poor areas of the Andes. She attended educational programs held by UNICEF and learned about their efforts to protect and save children living in the rural communities. She was a part of the first Canadian "Charity Challenge" to Machu Picchu[6]
