According to an article from The Toronto Star, she confessed, "In heels I am 6 feet 1 inches." As I grew older, my male companions, I stopped. Many former dancers turn to acting. In Brugel's case it was a suggestion from a high school drama teacher which pushed her into the right direction. It was the teacher who recommended she try her hand at a character in the annual school production. After a few auditions, she became the lead lady in Anne of Green Gables. It led to the award of a Fine Arts Talent Scholarship at York University where she attended the Theatre Program which she graduated with an Associate in Fine Arts degree in 2000.In the 20+ years since, Brugel has landed roles in more than 60 productions on the big and small screens.
