I am (use a max. of 3 words to describe yourself)… caring, goofy, and playful.

Acting is… therapy.

My last acting gig taught me… the balance of being flexible but also listening to your gut.

Proudest performance moment… Probably at my last acting gig, it was probably the most physically and emotionally challenging ones that I've to date, another moment I love is when you are so in it, that you do not even remember what even happened during the take.

Most embarrassing audition… So before my audition, I was walking on the street up to the building, this older man was trying to get my attention and I assumed that he was cat-calling, so I ignored him. I went in the building and waited for my turn to go in, after an hour or so it was finally my turn to audition. The first thing I noticed was the guy outside was the producer of the film, on the inside I was extremely embarrassed but had to play it cool obviously. He gave me the death stare the whole entire time I was auditioning. What's crazy is that I actually got the part!

Most challenging part… I had a part not too long ago that was very challenging. I was faced with a project where I received the script super duper last minute, literally hours before shooting. As someone who needs prep work the challenge was embodying a character that was a bit up in the air and I really had to go on the fly, I was pretty much freaking out the whole entire time lol.

The moment I knew I wanted to be an actor… The moment came actually quite spiritually, I was pretty lost a few years ago when it came to my career and purpose in life. I originally had plans to do my Masters in Psychology, but felt like it wasn't the right thing that I wanted to do. Shortly after I had a crazy experience where I received a message from my higher self, the message said that I should start acting and making music. I followed that message and voilà!

Dying to work with… Sam Levinson.

Was born to play… Drama.
