Early life and education

Ullerup was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, as a child of a diplomatic family,[3] daughter of Ove Ullerup (né Ullerup-Petersen). After graduating from high school in Copenhagen in 2003, she moved to Vancouver, Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada, and attended the Vancouver Film School, graduating in 2005.[4]

Career

Ullerup's first role was that of Julia Brynn on the remake television series of Battlestar Galactica in 2006, which aired on the Sci Fi Channel.[5] She played Ashley Magnus in the first and second seasons of the television show Sanctuary until her character was written out. Her departure remained a topic of heated debate among fans, with many of them wanting her brought back in future episodes,[6] until the show was canceled in 2012.

In 2016, Ullerup was cast as Bree O'Brien in Chesapeake Shores.[7][8] Ullerup played Maggie Thomas, the estranged wife of Michael Thomas, in the disaster movie Asteroid: Final Impact (2015).[9] Since 2016 Ullerup has had a recurring role as Dale Travers in Hallmark's Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies series.[10]

Personal life

Ullerup speaks Danish, English and Vietnamese. Her father held the title of Lord Chamberlain for the Danish royal family.[11]

In 2008, she was found to have a benign but aggressive tumor wrapped around her spinal nerves. She underwent surgery to remove the tumor in 2009,[12] at which time her coccyx and half of the sacrum of her pelvis were removed.[6] After about five months, she recovered enough to return to work.[13]

On 14 August 2018, she married her longtime boyfriend photographer Kyle Cassie.
