1. How did you get started in the industry?

I begged my mom for 2 years before she let me do it. We didn’t know how to start. One day she posted a video of me on Facebook. A friend of my mom saw it and passed it on to a casting person, the rest is history!

I loved getting killed on CSI! I loved the bloody makeup.

I really liked working with Terrell. It’s always once to have a friend onset with you. We still talk to this day.

Days was a cool experience. Everyone was so nice. I had never done a soap before so it was a really cool experience.

 

5. How did you like working with Eileen Davidson?

Working with Eileen was awesome, she was so nice to me. My mom used to watch Eileen when she was a teenager on Days and thought it was super cool that I got to work with her.

 

6. What was it like working with Jennifer Stone?

I had a great time working with Jennifer Stone. I loved watching her on Wizards so hanging out with her on set was a great experience for me.

 

7. Do you have a favorite part about filming Deadtime Stories?

Just being part of Deadtime Stories is so great, I think it’s an awesome show!

 

8. What was it like filming your Old Navy commercial?

Old Navy was so much fun. I got to wear some really cool outfits and work with some of my friends. The director was so much fun too!

 

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with?

I got to work with Cheyenne Nguyen, Danielle Parker and Mackenzie Foy on Cookie Mobster this past summer and it was super fun. Chey and I still talk often.

 

10. What has been your favorite project to work on?

It’s hard to pick a favorite. Every job is a blessing and I am thankful to God that I am able to do what I love that day.

 

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Little Rascals was lots of fun because there was lots of kids and a dog to play with.
