I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and was a very competitive (and stressed out!) gymnast before getting into entertainment, but it was never the actual gymnastics that was my true love. I loved the performing aspect of it all.

Ever since I was young, I have wanted to help others live happy, healthy, fulfilling lives.

I know for a fact that I am not as fulfilled, happy or passionate about life if I have not spent time helping others.

I do a lot of motivational speaking for young performers and kids who really want to get into acting and performing. I always say, to be as versatile as possible, because you never know which skill is going to help you get a role.

I wanted to act, dance and perform more than anything, and I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.

I love to make people laugh, and do things that are surprising and different.

A lot of people have so many issues like depression, obesity or chronic illness that has to do with gut health.
