Early life

Roxburgh is the second oldest of four children; she has two sisters (Kristie and Ashley) and one younger brother (Matt). Her father, Cam, is a Canadian pastor,[2] and her mother, Shelley Walpole, is a British retired professional tennis player. Her parents, after moving to Canada from the United States, founded a church in Vancouver. After graduating from high school, Roxburgh began pursuing acting in Vancouver.[3] Roxburgh is an alumna of the William Esper Studio.[4]

She landed her first major role in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules as Rachel. She went on to also appear in the second sequel of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Days, but as a different character, Heather Hills that looks like Barbie. Her other work in films has included Big Time Movie, Jeni in Leprechaun: Origins, and Ensign Syl in Star Trek Beyond.

In 2022, Roxburgh starred as detective Mary Kelly in the serial killer movie Mindcage, alongside Martin Lawrence and John Malkovich.[6]

Personal life

Roxburgh has a passion for travel. Growing up, her family visited Africa, Europe and South America, which began Roxburgh's interest in social justice issues.[7][8] She currently serves as a GenR Leader for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which assists people in extreme humanitarian crises. Prior to her work on Manifest, Roxburgh studied Communications at Simon Fraser University in hopes of becoming a journalist. In 2018 she began a relationship with colleague J.R.
