In 2016 she talked about her early years with MyDevotionalThoughts.
'Much of my early training was on-the-job, but I’ve worked with about five different acting coaches over the years, all with different specialties and approaches,' she said.
'All very different and exceptional in their own ways. I’d recommend that to anyone who is curious about the profession.
'As for what inspired me to act, I don’t think it was my idea. Might sound strange but in retrospect, it seems more alien or divine.
'It was definitely not my parents’ idea, as supportive as they were. I will never know how it even occurred to me as a shy kid to attempt to break into such a competitive industry. But here we are, twenty years in.'
