Today, you’ll hear all about

· Traditions her family would uphold.

· How her entire school life she was bullied and how it left her being shy as an adult.

· The moment her mom put her into acting class to try and help her open up.

· What the world of acting looks like and how sometimes it feels too good to be true.

· Booking The Walking Dead.

· Who she looks up to the most and what life was like being an older sibling.

· Developing an eating disorder after her parents split, thinking she had control it, but then ending up in the ICU in 2020.
