Quotes Well, while working in the Dallas, TX world of advertising, overseeing commercial and photo shoots for a range of clients’ campaigns, I was introduced to life on set and on several occasions, and finally was asked to step in front of the camera. My initial resistance didn’t last long and after being approached by a local talent agent, I found myself in front of the lens for a variety of print and commercial campaigns. A chance introduction landed me a talent manager (who I’m still with, til this day) in Hollywood and shortly after, I decided to take a leap of faith, packed my bags and headed West. I’ve gotten so much amazing advice, as I’ve been blessed with a beautiful village of people. At the moment, I’d have to go with, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Trust, no one is more surprised by my career choice than me. I mean, I started out as a Pre-Med major at LSU!

We began the series a few years after my move to California, so it was also a safe place for me to learn and grow. I booked the role by simply walking into an audition. The next day during call-back, Tyler Perry himself shook my hand and offered me the role. Just thinking about that moment still makes me smile. My newest addiction is savory sweet potatoes. My PawPaw (what we Louisiana folks often call our grand fathers) had folks coming from miles around, because he was known for growing the best sweet potatoes in the South. I’m not sure if it was because I’d help with the planting/harvest, but at the time I couldn’t stand them! Now, thanks to my cousin Chan’s savory spin, I’m In love. A very coordinated, carefully prioritized juggling act of family and career. No different than most.
