I have always been interested in giving back, and I wouldn't want to know a life without giving.

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'm definitely somewhat of a tomboy. I grew up a pretty big tomboy actually, and was really obsessed with basketball.

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 barely slept during high school because I was too busy dancing and acting all the time. The plan was to go to my dream college that had one of the best performing arts programs, and then go to LA to follow my dream of being an actress.

I love having a little bit of bronzer of some sort and I love looking golden.
