I’m a small town girl with a lot of personality! I’ve known I wanted to be a performer since I could talk it just took me a few years to find out my acting talents. Now, I am in LA working hard to inspire others, am with an amazing agency, and continuing to pave my path here in this world.
I am (use a max. of 3 words to describe yourself)… quirky, genuine and strong.
Acting is… Magic.
My last acting gig taught me… that you have to love your character with all that you have.
Proudest performance moment… While playing Catherine in A View From the Bridge, I was supposed to light a cigarette on stage & it wouldn’t light AT ALL! So, I improvised & changed the script! BUT it ALL worked out!!!
Most embarrassing audition… I said Sutton Foster (a musical theater actor) was my inspiration at a soccer commercial audition and they all stared at me with confusion not knowing who that was.
Most challenging part… of acting is letting go of the character you learn to love for the amount of time you had been working on them.
The moment I knew I wanted to be an actor… When I was 7, I was watching my dad on stage (he’s a musician) & for some reason I just thought to myself “I can do that” and my love for singing and music grew to musical theater and into straight acting.
Dying to work with… Jake Gyllenhaal & Sutton Foster.
Was born to play… Pocahontas.
Learn lines by… going over them with someone, I have to have someone help me, otherwise I won’t feel confident about them.
Get into character by… by assigning a certain music playlist to get my process going.
Special skill I wouldn't put on my resume… I can shake my eyeballs really fast lol.
Movie I can’t stop talking about… Walk the Line
Top three shows in my queue… The Good Place, Teresa, Law and Order SVU
Currently reading… Taller de Amor by Raimon Sámso
Car karaoke tune… Anything Goes by Sutton Foster
If I weren't an actor, I'd be… a marine biologist.
Stranger Things character that best represents me… If I’m being honest, I’m not a big Stranger Things fan! But everyone always tell me I can be Will’s older sister lol.
If they made a movie about my life, I’d be played by… Penélope Cruz.
Actor crush… Jake Gyllenhaal
Sign… Aquarius
If I were a color, I'd be… Yellow!
