I was happy to kind of always scoot under the radar.

It depends on the scripts and the character and just everybody involved, the other actors and directors. It's just a gut feeling when you find something, you're like, 'Yes, I want to sink my teeth into that.'

I've always had bad posture, and Pilates makes me feel taller and reminds me to keep my shoulders back. And hiking isn't just about doing cardio, it's also when I can get my 'me time' to be alone with my thoughts. After Pilates I should do some cardio, and after hiking, I need to do some resistance training.

Although birth control is a part of my plan now, it won't necessarily be a year from now. I want to use my platform to inspire other women out there.

I do think it's possible to change for the better.

It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.

As long as you're fierce and you have that inner confidence with yourself, you can get through anything.
