Q&A

FIRST JOB: My first job was a print ad for the Toys R Us Holiday Catalog! I was so excited, and seeing myself in the catalog was so special! My first commercial was for Dunkin Donuts, where I met my best friend, Samantha A. Smith! My first television appearance was opposite the wonderful Bob Saget on a Netflix show called ‘The Good Cop.’ I had two lines and got to show him some card tricks! He was so kind and welcoming to me on my first job. I will never forget that.

CURRENTLY WORKING ON:

I just wrapped season 1 of ‘Home Sweet Rome!’ where I play Lucy in this fun, international, music-led show! You can check it out on Family Channel in Canada, HBO Max in the US, RAI and ARD in Europe, and BBC in the UK! I am working on some upcoming animated projects that will be released in 2024, and I am filming my first live-action feature film right now! (I can’t say much, but it will release in 2024!) I am also continuing my work on Nickelodeon’s ‘That Girl Lay Lay,’ where I play Tiffany Highlander!

IF I WEREN’T AN ACTRESS, I’D BE…

If I wasn’t an actress, I would work on the production side of animation as a storyboard artist and animator! I have always loved art and LOVE animated films, so it would be the perfect combo! I have so much respect for everyone working in animation. Their creativity, passion, and detail for storytelling inspire me so much.

THE PERSON I AM DYING TO WORK WITH IS…

I am dying to work with Catherine O’Hara! She is brilliant in everything she does! From ‘Waiting for Guffman’ to ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ she really is a comedy master. I would love the opportunity to learn from her.

IF I HAD TO LIVE IN A WORLD FROM A MOVIE OR TV SHOW, I WOULD CHOOSE… If I had to live in a world from a movie or TV show, it would be ‘The Little Mermaid!’ Ariel has been my favorite princess for as long as I can remember! Being a mermaid would be so fun; breaking out into song at any given moment and living under the sea with Sebastian and Flounder would be a blast!

THE PERSON I’VE BEEN MOST STARSTRUCK BY IS… Eugene Levy. I have been his biggest fan for basically my entire life. My favorite movies of his are ‘Waiting for Guffman’ and ‘Best in Show.’ And I’m also the biggest ‘Schitt’s Creek’ fan. I recently got to meet him, and he was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. It’s crazy to see someone you have admired on the screen and then in person. (I tried to play it really cool, but inside I was freaking out from excitement!) I hope I have the opportunity to work opposite from him someday. He is so brilliant at improv and I would love to learn from him.

3 THINGS OR PEOPLE I LOVE ARE: Family/friends, animals, and performing.
