Hickson's journey into the world of acting began in her native British Columbia. Following her high school graduation, she took a leap of faith and auditioned for a casting agent. Her talent was undeniable, and she was signed on the spot, marking the beginning of her professional acting career. This led to roles in a number of notable projects, including "Go with Me" (2015). In a short time, she had become a familiar face, with a rapidly expanding resume that included work in both film and television.

The actress's early career saw her landing a role in the 2016 feature film "Deadpool." This performance played a role in opening the doors for her to further opportunities. However, the acclaim she received for her role in "Deadpool" would soon be accompanied by a period of intense trial. The budding actress took on the role of Young Vera in the 2018 horror film "Ghostland." The film, which delved into the chilling tale of a mother and her two daughters facing off against a horde of supernatural entities, promised to showcase Hickson's acting range. It would, however, also become the setting for a tragic event.

During the filming of a particularly intense scene, tragedy struck. Hickson, then just 19 years old, was instructed by the director to pound on a glass door repeatedly. The scene demanded a heightened level of emotion, and she complied, throwing herself into the performance. However, the glass, rather than withstanding the force, shattered. The actress was cut on the face by a glass pane, leading to a gruesome facial injury and permanent scarring. She was rushed to the hospital, where she received 70 stitches.

The fallout from the accident was immediate and far-reaching. Hickson subsequently sued the film's producers for negligence, alleging that they failed to provide adequate safety measures on set, leading to both financial and emotional losses. She claimed that the production company failed to provide her with a safe work environment. The legal battle shed light on the potentially dangerous conditions that can sometimes exist in the film industry and the importance of prioritizing the safety of performers.

Despite the challenges, Hickson has continued to work. She has showcased her talents in a variety of roles, including her portrayal of Raelle Collar in the Freeform series "Motherland: Fort Salem". The series, which offers a unique twist on the fantasy genre by reversing gender roles, provided Hickson with a platform to demonstrate her versatility. In "Motherland: Fort Salem," she brought depth and emotion to the character of Raelle, a young witch grappling with the complexities of love, duty, and identity.

The accident during the filming of "Ghostland" has undoubtedly cast a long shadow over Hickson's career. It has forced her to navigate both the physical and emotional scars left by the incident. Yet, despite the adversity, Hickson's resilience and commitment to her craft remain evident. This determination to continue in her profession shows her dedication. She is a talented Canadian singer and actress, who got the chance to taste fame after she appeared as a teenage meth addict female in the 2015s movie, go with me.

She continues to be a force. While the legal battle may have presented obstacles, it has also given her a platform to advocate for safer working conditions within the film industry. The actresss career is still on the rise. As she continues to take on new roles and projects, she serves as an example of how its possible to maintain dedication, even in the face of adversity.
