A commercial for Stone Mountain Park, Georgia
How did you get started in the business?
My sister and I started performing with a local community theater, which usually did plays geared toward children like Pinocchio and Winnie the Pooh.
Of all projects you've worked on to date, what was your favorite? Why?
I loved being a part of Empire Falls, because I worked with an amazing group of talented people - both cast and crew, and Maine was beautiful and I enjoyed getting to know the local people. Working on Sky High was also a blast because I adored everyone who was a part of that project, and we always had a lot of fun on set.
Most influential person on your acting career? Why?
My mother, because she makes it possible for me to pursue my dreams.

Amy Lippman, Chris Keyser, Ed Harris, Fred Schepisi, Mike Mitchell, Andrew Gunn, and Ann Marie Sanderlin
What type of work do you like the most (commercials, stage, television, movies?)
I enjoy doing guest stars on television because I get the opportunity to work with a large variety of people, however, movies are a great opportunity for me to tell a story and fully develop a character.
If you have a dramatic scene where you have to cry, how do you get ready for it and do it?
I give the character a history and a full life; this way the tears come naturally for the character in whatever situation calls for tears. Also, sometimes a certain song will help me feel emotions that evoke tears
