1. What was the experience like working for PERGO Outlast?

Sooooooo FUN!!!! It was a two day shoot and they put me up in a hotel with a pool! I got to wear costumes and act out scenes from famous movies!

2. What was the best part of filming your Pharma commercial?

It was very interesting! This was the first time I had worked on something for Virtual Reality. They let me wear the goggles and see myself in VR. It was exciting and a lil creepy at the same time to see me standing in front of me.

3. How did you react to seeing your photo used in Toys R Us stores this summer?

I LOVE shooting for Toys R Us! It’s always super fun to go in the store and look for myself and my friends. As soon as we found me I was like “Quick mom take a pic” lol

4. What was your shoot for MSI Stone like?

MSI was a quick shoot. The people were super nice. We worked together so well that the production company where this was shot brought me back to do that super fun Pergo shoot!

5. What was your time on set like filming for Nickelodeon?

I had a blast! The character I played was mocking her daddy and how he drives. I got to sit in a big pink jeep in the kitchen and really act out, which I loved. I really had fun with it.

6. How did you learn all of your lines?

For the Nick shoot I had them memorized still from the audition/callback but there was a really fun director who would holler a line and have me repeat it. Those were the beeps you hear at the end but don’t worry I didn’t really say any bad words 😉

7. How did it feel seeing the commercial for the first time?

I got so excited and laughed super hard! I loved to see the finished piece! I was really happy with it.

8. Is there anything you can share about your role in 3DAYS?

3 Days is a feature film still in production. My role is Sandy Quinn who is one of the primary characters in the film. It’s a scifi thriller about the end of days prophecy.

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

I was really hoping I could answer this, like Superbad! My favorite people to work with where the cast and crew of the new Netflix series titled “Maniac” coming out in 2018. I just wrapped not long ago and after working with everyone for 3 months, I sure do miss them. I got to work with an amazing director his name is Cary Fukunaga. He is super funny and we loved telling jokes. I loved working with Emma and Jonah! I cannot wait to see them again at the premiere.

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

I loved all the projects I worked on this year. My favorite is the one I mentioned above, Maniac. I can’t say anything right now about the show or my character. My involvement had just recently been announced by CP Talent with the press articles that have recently surfaced so other than what’s public everything else I have to keep hush hush. I enjoyed working with some really big celebrities, some who still have yet to be announced, and an AMAZING director and I can’t forget Patrick Somerville the writer of the show. I have really learned a lot from everyone. My favorite part is that I had my own trailer and Paramount sent an ice cream truck to set one day for an extra treat!! I had my first experience with having a “body-double” which was kinda cool. I also have met some really amazing people who have become friends.
