For me, being a girlboss is about being the boss of your own life. At 26 I still don't know what's happening in my life, but I'm asking, What will make me happy next?

Honestly, I love television. I love the idea of going to work every day and getting to know your crew and having a rapport with your directors and having a family of cast.

I was a super tomboy growing up.

I was home-schooled. My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems. She was scared of letting me go. So, she home-schooled my siblings and I, and she was desperately trying to find something for me to do, for an extracurricular. She was trying to socialize me, so she put me in community theater and I was instantly taken by it.

I love scary movies, but I'd never really even seen The Vampire Diaries, up until I met [Kevin Williamson].

I have always been interested in art but had no formal training or experience. It's always been just what I liked, my eye for art.

I am close - too close - with my family.
