Fitbit was my first VO audition ever and I was so surprised that I booked it! I had been training for awhile and it was so exciting to be working with this top brand. and let’s just say I love being in the booth!

5. What was your time on set like filming your last episode of Y&R?

It was a good day, I was always happy when Y&R called me in to film again. I didn’t know this was gonna be my last episode or I would’ve grabbed a few extra hugs Lol! But looking back, I’m happy I got to work with such an awesome cast for such a long time. Everyone was always so kind to me. I considered them like my second family and I truly miss them all!

Yes I do, from time to time I may run into Aly Lind and talk to Aiden Clark on the phone. We try to keep up with each other on social media to.

9. How do you enjoy getting to travel for work?

I love traveling, sometimes its a lot of back and forth for auditions to LA but I enjoy being on the road. This year I traveled to Vancouver, Canada and spent 3 1/2 months filming Skyscraper and I really enjoyed that!

10. Can you tell us anything about your new film Skyscraper?

Oh this film is gonna be a hit! I play Georgia. You will see lots of action and seat gripping moments! It’s was the best experience of my acting career this far. I worked with a lot of incredibly talented & genuinely kind people, producers, directors, cast & crew were all so awesome! Not bad for a kids 1st movie “Eh”.
