Gloria McDonald is a curious and creative individual. She has taken on various hobbies and projects including acting, SFX, writing, and creating toys and various things for her special needs child. Her most recent undertakings are rekindling her love of painting and developing her bouldering skills.

Gloria lives with her husband Chris and their daughter Olivia. Olivia has a rare and life limiting disease called TANGO2-related metabolic encephalopathy and arrhythmias (or TANGO2 for short). It is a medically complex disease that involves multiple organs, and comes with a high risk of death when the body is under extreme stress. Since Olivia’s diagnosis at 7 months old the McDonald family has been doing their best to give her a great life while they continue to live one day at a time.
