1. How did you get into the industry?

I have been acting for about 3 years. The very first film I did was called Jacob. It just recently came out in Redbox and Netflix.

2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?

I love horror movies but don’t have a favorite “Scream Queen.” My favorite horror film is Nightmare on Elm Street. I have been to the actual house in L.A. several times. I have also been to the Amityville house. It was pretty cool.

3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?

I split my time between Texas and L.A. pursuing my career. I love acting of any kind but horror is my favorite. I have several projects coming up. I will be starring in a western that was written and will be directed by Larry Carrell. He is the writer and director from Jacob. I have a really fun project coming up called Kids vs Zombies. I also have a film called New Age that I will be working on with Mark Blitch and Jason Vaile. The rest of this year and and early next will be very busy for me. I LOVE IT!
