Interview

When did you start to get interested in acting and modeling?

I started getting interested in modeling when I was the age 3. I began practicing posing in front of the mirror while going through all my clothes.

For Acting, that came after I signed with my first talent agency. I had auditioned for a commercial and booked it. Ever since that first commercial I fell in love with acting.

If you were an advertisement, which would your slogan be?

Glitter makes everything better

Which is the part you enjoy the most about acting and modeling?

The part I enjoy would be getting to see everything behind the scenes. As audience, you don’t really get to see everything that goes on to produce what you are viewing.

Most artists say that through their art they learn more about themselves, heal injuries… In which aspects has your journey helped you?

I would say that it’s helped me a lot in learning to socialize. I can literally start a random conversation with anyone and instantly become friends.

What does acting and modeling mean to you?

It means a lot to me because I get to be part of something that entertains others. You never know if your role in a tv show or feature film out a smile on someone’s face.

Who are your idols?

For modeling, I look up to Paris Hilton.

For acting, I look up to Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.

If you didn’t like acting and modeling, what would you like to do?

If I didn’t like modeling and acting I would just be at home everyday playing with me siblings and friends.

Do you consider that nowadays there are more or less opportunities for new artists? Why?

I believe that there is still the same amount of opportunities for new artist because the entertainment industry keeps on growing. Everyone needs entertainment and that will never go away.

What would your idyllic life as an artist be like?

My idyllic life as an actor would be me being in a tv series as a series regular and have that tv series hit a 10 year run. They would be amazing!

Which are your upcoming projects?

I do have a couple commercials coming out, a music video that I’m in and a feature film they will be shooting soon.
