We know you have such a big heart. Tell us about the charities you're involved with and why they matter to you. What's your mantra when it comes to giving back?
"'Be the change you wish to see in the world' and always remember to give with your whole heart — and do it all because you love it. I work with Pencils of Promise, I Am That Girl, Falling Whistles, Fuck Cancer, and The Nature Conservancy — they give me such purpose."

You spent a lot of time with these charity projects during your hiatus between shows. What are the moments you'll remember forever?
"Going to Guatemala with Pencils of Promise in May was amazing — we raised $60,000 for the group as my 30th birthday present! That's one of my proudest accomplishments to date."
