“I started acting when I was five years old. I found it randomly, through listening to my brother study monologues. I auditorally started memorizing them for no reason, and started repeating them to anyone who would listen to me.

She was like, "Yeah, sure, if you want to." And I was like, "Okay, great! I think I might want to do this forever."”

So, we were blessed and just surprised at how well that did.”
