How would you describe yourself in one word?
Decent
What is the history of your acting career?
I’ve been acting since I was really young; starting in musical theater for years and working my way up to TV/Film. The first job I ever got was for a Ray Ban print job. I sat in traffic for two and a half hours to get to the audition (Obama was in town so that’s why there was so much traffic), walked in, took a couple pictures, then left and sat in traffic again for what felt like forever. Got a call the next day that I got that job and had my own mini freak out. From then on, I’ve been lucky enough to appear in shows on Lifetime, Fox, and Disney, as well as various commercials and print jobs for Las Vegas, Toyota, and NFL. I also love hosting events so I’ve been able to host several music and entertainment festivals around Los Angeles and Southern California.
What kind of projects did you work on this summer?
This summer, I worked at CBS and got to see how all of that works and operates. I also hosted various festivals and filmed a new film that will be released next year.
Tell us about Instagram & how you became so popular on Instagram?
I love Instagram. I think it’s so fun to get to put whatever you want out there and see people’s reactions. Throughout the years, I’ve gained more followers, especially from the live events I’ve gotten to host. This makes the whole Instagram thing even more fun, seeing what people like more and seeing what they may not like as much…
What is your reaction to Instagram fan pages dedicated to you?
They make me smile. At first, I was confused and was thinking who did this, why did they do this?? But I think it is super funny and sweet and amazing of people to take their time to do this.
If you could meet anyone in the world who would it be and what would you do with them?
This question stresses me out. There are so many options. Uh, I would have to say if there was one person in the world that I would want to meet and hang out with, it would be Lisa Kudrow. After watching “The Comeback”, I fell in love with her complete and utter awkwardness. She makes me so uncomfortable to watch on TV and I just want to spend all my time with her. I honestly think I would just sit across from her at a table for an entire day and stare at her and wink periodically.
Who Inspires you?
I would definitely say Ellen DeGeneres is a huge inspiration for me. That may seem cliché, but she has a way to always be so positive, warm, and loving and draws an audience in just with her smile. She always pays it forward and is reaching out to people and that inspires me to do better every day.
What are your future goals?
My real dream in life is to be a talk show host. Talk shows are my favorite kind of television and I would love to be able to have my own one day. I love Ellen and both Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon.
