IAM: Who/What inspired you to become an actress?
Competing in the Miss America Scholarship Program
allowed me to perform in front of a crowd. When I
won Miss Greater Cleveland, I was awarded a scholarship to a local talent agency. They sent me on my first
audition I got the job and the rest is history. :)
IAM: Was there any other career you were interested
in before you started acting?
I always wanted to be a National Talk Show Host - I’m
still pursuing this dream!
How old were you when you started your acting career?
I did not start acting until I was 23. However I took
Dance and performed on a stage since I was 3.
Did you ever take acting classes or see an acting
coach?
I have never taken an acting class. I learned through
experience.
Were you involved in musicals and plays in school?
No- I was actually a cheerleader and a member of the
Choir. I took dance all throughout school- so that
took up all of my time.
Do you get nervous for auditions?
I get excited nervous.
