Early life

Jaud grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia. At the age of five, she began training with the Canadian School of Ballet for eleven years. She also studied piano for six years with the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Career

Jaud appeared on-camera in four television series ''The X-Files'', '' The Outer Limits'', ''Double Exposure'' and '' Andromeda''.

In 2004, Jaud was the narrator of the Emmy Award-winning series "Adoption Stories" (Discovery Health) and traveled to New York for the event. But it was her voiceover work on the animated series ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' that had the greatest impact. Jaud met children from the Make-A-Wish Foundation who faced life-threatening diseases. After this experience, she created ‘The Magic of Think’ and began writing books, music, nursery rhymes, and videos to help children develop strength and courage.

In 2008, Jaud released her first album in the Christmas music genre. She wrote songs with tongue-in-cheek humour. Many of these jazz songs have been chosen to be in movies such as '' Blond and Blonder'', '' American Mary'', Debbie Macomber's ''Dashing Through the Snow'', and Making Mr. Right.

From 2010 to 2012, Jaud released several singles.
