Tell me about what you're working on now? What is “Chicken Girls” about and what can we expect in the movie?
Right now, I’m shooting season three for “Chicken Girls”. Chicken Girls is about high school drama and normal high school relationships that kids our age face. In the movie, you can except a lot of plot twists and tons of dancing. :)
What was your first role as an actor? How old were you?
My first role as an actress was a commercial for “Just Dance Nintendo Switch 2017”. I was actually combining the two things I love, dancing and acting. I was 13 years old.
Have you progressed in your acting career as you have expected? Where do you see yourself in five years? ten years?
Yes, I’ve definitely progressed, but I always love to keep working on my craft. Acting takes work ethic and passion, so if you continue to stay hungry, that role will be right around the corner. In five years, I would love to be a lead in a TV Show. In ten years, it would be amazing to be in a feature film or movie.
Of all the roles you have played in the past, which is your favorite?
The role I’m working on right now, ‘Kimmie’ on “Chicken Girls” is one of my favorites. It’s my first role playing a mean character, which is always really fun as you get to play the opposite of yourself.
Who is your favorite actor, and why?
My favorite actress is Zendaya. The route and/or path that she took her career in is definitely something I aspire to. She’s such an inspiration in everything she does.
Describe your acting style?
I love all acting styles. Sometimes I use classical acting, which is a method where actors use their own feelings and experiences to connect with the character they are portraying.
Tell me about an organization or charity group outside of work that you contribute to or are passionate about?
I love anything charity related, and I contribute to a couple of organizations. One of the organizations I work with is called Build A Miracle. Build A Miracle is a non-profit organization that builds homes and provides educational opportunities for families in need. I got the opportunity to help build a home for a family in Mexico who was in dire need of a permanent home. The family of four was living in a 100 square foot shack made out of garage doors with a dirt floor. They had no running water, and the kids were freezing during the winter. Through this amazing organization and many American and Mexican volunteers, we poured the concrete pad for their new home. It was an amazing experience for me to see what their lifestyle was like and how they approach living in that atmosphere.
