Do you have any advice for aspiring actresses out there?
"The best advice I have for aspiring actresses is not about being on stage. It’s about what you are doing while you are waiting to do what you want to do.

1. Get a day job and work there until you don’t need it anymore. It may suck, but you aren’t gonna make it right away. So, save your money and use that health insurance while you got it!
2. Don’t give up! Do what you love at night. And when it gets tough, keep doing what you love. You can do this!
3. Most importantly: Be nice to everyone! You never know who you will work with down the line. People will remember you and how you treat them on and off stage."
