FWM: Tell us about your modeling career.
I started modeling when I was a wee little tot in Los Angeles. After I moved to Kansas with my mom, I took a break from it as there wasn’t a lot of modeling jobs in the wheat capital. When I got to college I had to start all over with finding an agency and making a new book. It’s been a fun ride, constantly learning from every shoot and the experience.
FWM: Share your favorite shoots.
Definitely shooting for Maxim. The group destination shoots are always a fun way to meet new people and explore a new destination!
FWM: You have a deep love for comedy. How has this translated into your acting career?
Correct. I would say besides working in improv troupes and doing stand up, it has translated in my own personal videos and the roles I get cast in.
FWM: Tell us about connecting with RENT.
Sadly, I had no work in RENT besides the fact I live in the playwrights home and Lin-manual has shot in it for Tick Tick Boom! which is about the playwright.
FWM: What do you look for in a role?
Someone that isn’t anything like me is always fun. You get to figure out how to bring your authentic self to that character.
FWM: Tell us about your upcoming projects including building your brand.
It’s really hush hush at the moment. I’m in the very boring parts of it right now, like trademarking and finding what companies I am using to distribute it but I can say it is very on brand with where I came from.
