Simone Swan was born and in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. She is the daughter of Karen Baker, a stay at home mother, and Brian Bueler, an elementary school bus driver. Her love of acting started at an early age of six, when she was cast in a school production of Chicken Little, as the anxiety ridden yet lovable Henny Penny. It was for this role that she received her first award, "excellence in acting". Printed on the most durable of construction paper, hand drawn crayon boarders, and possibly some stickers, carefully created by her first grade teacher, Mrs. Folger. The award is currently framed and hanging in the main foyer of Simone's four storey home.
