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

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.

I feel so blessed to get to live out my dreams, and I want to help others live theirs.

I would love to play more nerd roles, as well as action hero roles.

Now when I get auditions, I choose to believe that I am an amazing actor.

One of my favorite things is when I get letters and video messages from fans or people who have attended one of my workshops that say things like "because of your workshop, I finally have the confidence to go after my dream/love myself/have the strength not to listen to anyone telling me I can't do the things I really want to do!"

I love to just be super nerdy.
