Can you tell us more about your experience working with Shanola Hampton on NBC’s Found?

Working with Shanola Hampton on Found was amazing! She always had so much positive energy which I have too.  We colored together which is always my favorite. 

What was it like having a recurring role on Average Joe alongside Deon Cole?

Working on Average Joe was so much fun.  I didn’t actually get to work with Dean Cole, but I did work with Michael Trucco.  Before I filmed with him, I watched him on Fire Country.  He was great to work with especially since these were tough scenes.

How did you prepare for your co-star role in Netflix’s Cobra Kai with Peyton List?

Luckily there wasn’t too much to do to prepare for my role as Young Tory in Cobra Kai.  Young Tory is a lot like me.  She was coloring in the scene which is one of my most favorite things to do.  For the audition, I did have to learn my lines and get into character and stay grounded which is one of the things my acting coaches teach me.  It means being realistic instead of over the top. In acting grounded does not mean you got in trouble and are grounded for a month. 

Can you share any behind-the-scenes moments from the filming of The Air He Breathes?

We had so much fun while on set for The Air He Breathes.  One of my favorite moments was when everyone sang Happy Birthday to me.  They also surprised me with 2 cakes, one was vanilla and one was oreo.  Another fun moment was when I got to play in the baby pool with the dog, Zeus.  I splashed and dumped water all over me.  It was a chilly day so when I got out I was cold.

What can we expect from your new film, The Air He Breathes, which is premiering on Passionflix in August?

In The Air He Breathes, I play Emma.  In the movie, my father passes away so my mom and I move back home.  We live with my grandma and grandpa.  We meet the next door neighbor, Tristan.  He is also sad about his wife and son dying.  He starts helping out like mowing the lawn.  They have some fun adventures together and some scary ones.  But luckily it has a happy ending.

How did you feel when you found out you got the role of Lily Loud in Nickelodeon’s A Loud House Christmas?

When I got the role for Lily Loud in A Loud House Christmas I had just turned 4 so I don’t really remember how I felt.  It was my first time on set ever.  The first day on set I met all my set brothers and sisters.  They made lots of fake snow and we had a snowball fight.  It was so much fun I couldn’t wait to go back.  We filmed for a long time and a favorite memory was playing duck duck goose with my set siblings in between filming.  They were so fun.

What motivates you to support organizations that help kids and the homeless?

I like helping kids and the homeless because it makes me feel good and it makes them smile when they are having a bad day.

Can you tell us about your work with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta?

We had lots of fun helping Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  We raised money by selling t-shirts and doing cameo videos.  We took $1,000 and spent it all at Target.  We bought Legos, games, coloring stuff, stuffed animals and lots more.  We filled up a whole cart!  We took it to the hospital and they are going to give it to the kids when they are getting something yucky done or having a bad day. 

How do you balance your acting career, gymnastics practice, and maintaining a positive presence on social media?

Balancing acting and gymnastics gets hard sometimes if I am busy.  Sometimes I have to miss gymnastics for filming.  So far I haven’t had to miss too much.  And I like to stretch and workout when I am traveling to help.  Staying positive on Instagram is easy because I am pretty much positive all the time.
