When and how did you get your start in acting?
I began looking for agencies at the age of 17. I started with extra roles, featured roles, in TV series such as Law & Order, Gossip Girl l, Royal Pains. As well as movies like Elf, Spider-Man 2.
How do you prepare for a role?
I usually go over the script either by myself, with the cast or with friends over and over again till I nail it.
What was your first role, and which one has been your favorite?
My first speaking role was in The Martial Arts Kid. Although the dabbled a bit in the acting world, I found my way toward making a modeling career for myself. It was more me. I was comfortable sitting pretty in front of a camera. Now that I’m more comfortable talking in front of a camera, I decided this is what I’d like to pursue. I have several projects on the table I’m super excited about and will share more when the time comes.
How did you get selected for it?
A friend of mine mentioned to the producer they had someone perfect for the show. We set a meeting and it went from there.
If you could choose, what three actors would you really want to work with?
I would love to work with Brad Pitt, Tom Hardy, and Cameron Diaz.
Any exciting news you want to share with us?
Ahh there’s so much in the works right now but I cannot speak of anything until it is all finalize and I am able to release to the public.
