Tell us about a difficult situation in your life and how you got through it. What did you learn? Difficult situation-Online learning because I missed my school family, teachers and friends and the connection to the school experience had I been able to attend my last quarter in the 5th grade. I got through it by face timing my friends, zoom class meetings with my class and teachers and having friends over to swim and hangout. I learned that being in quarantine was necessary to keep me safe and although it wasn’t much fun, it was the right decision for everyone and I learned another style of learning or instruction that I didn’t know before, so that is a positive out of a negative situation.
What is the most daring thing you’ve ever done? When I was nine years old, I auditioned for Annie. I was the youngest of 4 called back for the Annie part. The director ended up double casting the two older girls, ages 11 and 13. I learned that even though I didn”t get the part and was too young for the part at the time, to always be brave and never give up on your dreams. I ended up getting the starring role in Junie B. Jones the following Spring and it was my first lead role and it was awesome and an amazing experience.
