Tell us about yourself.
I’m an actress, host, model, and producer originally from Michigan.
What was it like competing on “America’s Next Top Model?”
Being a fan of America’s Next Top Model, I always wondered if being on the show would be as fun as watching it…and honestly, it was. The show takes ordinary people and places them in extraordinary circumstances. Every day was something new. There were challenges, photoshoots, and celebrity appearances. I had a blast and was, thankfully, given a good edit!

What was your favorite shoot on this episode?
My favorite shoots on ANTM were the grocery store avant-garde photo shoot and the Ellen von Unworth nude shoot.
You lasted 10 rounds, which is a long time, what kept you going and what did you learn from this experience?
I think what kept me going was how much I genuinely enjoyed being a part of the show. It was theatrical, and I had a lot of fun. I learned pretty quickly how much I loved being on a television set, far more than the modeling aspect.

How did you get into acting? I understand you studied theatre at Loyola Marymount.
I started college in NYC and attended Pace University for musical theater. I later transferred to Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. I got my start in performing doing local community theater in my hometown growing up.

Do you have any preference on tv or film? Comedy or Drama?
I truly enjoy it all. I love to perform, and I am fearless when it comes to tackling (or at least trying) any genre.
“Love Virtually” is coming out soon, how did you prepare for the role of Kimberly?
This was my first romantic comedy lead, so I was excited to lean into a more romantic role. I formed a bond with my co-star and did my best to create a safe space for us to create.
What motivated you to play this role?
The opportunity to be in a romcom!

Another reality show, “Instant Dream Home” on Netflix, what do you like about working on reality shows?
I love the opportunity to be myself while on camera. Acting and playing a character is fun, but I’m very lucky I’ve gotten the chance to be myself in many projects.
On “Instant Dream Home,” how did you prepare for this role?
I spent my childhood around home renovation, so one could say I’ve been preparing for years!
