1. How did you get into film and did you always know you wanted to be an actor? Looking back, I’ve always loved to entertain. As a kid my sister and cousins and I would put on little plays for family at the farm I grew up on in Minnesota. In high school I made short skits and short horror films with my friends. I grew up watching horror films so that was always my go to when creating, I loved it. I always wanted to be that girl running through the woods, half naked, bloody and battered, running from a killer or being the killer! Where it came to life for me was when I was in my early 20s, trying to figure out what I really wanted in life.

While going to college I took a theater class and fell in love with it. I was very shy growing up but really broke out of that when I started to go t...

Even in the school nativity I played an angel and decided I fully owned my moment even back then!! 🙂 As I grew up there were some things that held me back, mainly other peoples opinions. I was very aware of what other people thought of me and my decisions instead of thinking of what I truly wanted to do. But each time I tried my hand at something else, my mind kept drifting back to acting and that’s when I knew I had to give everything to pursue it. 3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be ...
