- [in 2019] Sometimes in life we have to deal with painful situations. The negative experiences I've been through have helped shape who I am and made me recognize what I didn't want to become. I aim to find the message and what I can learn in any given situation. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and strive to create a positive outcome and environment for myself and the people around me.
- [in 2019] When I was 17, I went to audition for a Secret Deodorant Commercial that Joe Pytka was directing. Afterward, I went to take my last final exam and then received a call that I had booked the role. I was finished with high school and the next day I was on set. That moment in time was such an accomplishment for me to close one chapter of my life and move onto the next.
- Obstacles always come up and nothing is certain, I go through it daily. I always expect the unexpected and I'm ready for whatever the day throws at me. You have to be ready to wear different hats to see it through a project's completion. When something doesn't work, it opens an opportunity for a better solution.
- [in 2019] My earliest memories are watching movies. I was always dressing up in costumes and creating scenes with my friends. By the time I was ten, we were making films with my dad's camcorder. When I was in middle school I began studying theatre. My mom would take me to acting classes on the weekends, which led to a showcase, an agent, and auditions. When I was seventeen, I auditioned for the role of an art student in National Commercial for Secret Deodorant. I went to take my last final exam as a high school student and when I was finished, I got the message that I booked the role. The next day I was on set filming two spots directed by Joe Pytka.
- [in 2020] I've gone through so many chapters and phases in my life. There have been highs, lows, losses and gains. I've been the most lost when I wasn't being true to myself and went along with what I thought people expected or wanted me to be instead of being who I truly am. It's taken making mistakes and learning from experience to acknowledge what works for me and what doesn't. I respect people who know who they are, own it and create a positive environment for the people around them. To me that is cool.
