Q&A
What was a defining moment in your career?
Being cast in the speaking role in The Exiled was a highlight. Not only did I have to push through the unfamiliar challenge of speaking onstage, but the character was so opposite from my personality in real life that I was forced to get out of my comfort zone. This helped me to gain confidence in myself and my artistic abilities.
Do you have a favorite vacation spot?
Prague in the winter. The food is fantastic and the Christmas market mixed with the old architecture is unbelievable.
Who would play you in a movie?
Anne Hathaway – at least that’s what my sister always tells me!
