Going Back To Acting
A few years ago, she did a photoshoot and interview with Dopeness magazine. The questions became quite personal. They delved into her life’s motivations. “I always thought I’d be an actress because I started acting when I was really young,” she admits. She began appearing in commercials when she was only five years old. “I was awkward, chubby, and desperate to leave. Teenage insecurities led me to believe that I wasn’t good enough or that pursuing a career in entertainment was impossible,” she confessed. Fortunately, she returned to acting in college.

The Audition
Her fateful audition for the now-famous role of AT&T’s Lily wasn’t exactly her best. She was having a particularly bad day. She had been crying for some reason just a few hours before she went in. “Perhaps I did well because I didn’t have anything to give?” she jokingly said . She did a lot of improvising. And the casting director provided her with a diverse group of actors to work with. She thought she’d make one commercial and be done with it. AT&T, on the other hand, kept calling back for more, until there were a couple of dozen in total. That kind of steady flow of work is a huge plus for a relatively unknown actor.
