How did you get started? Acting as profession started when I was 16. There were a couple of films being made in the town where I lived (Branson) and I happened to meet the casting professionals that were there from Los Angeles. It was truly one of those small events that has a huge impact on your life. I had originally gone to this studio to have my senior portraits made, and while I was there I was introduced to and able to talk with the casting director. I then took a workshop on "woking in the business." As much as I loved acting, it wasn't until this point that I had ever considered moving to LA to persue it as a career. I had scholarships to college and I was planning to major in international business, and once I really sat down and tried to figure out what would make me happiest - the choice was easy. It was much harder to convince the rest of my family of my decision. I'm sure they thought I was temporarily insane - but regardless of what they thought- I was supported all the way. It was about 2 days after I graduated from high school that I ventured across the country to LA.

How would you feel about doing a Xena spin-off of Eve and her adventures? Having no idea what the writers have planned I don't want to get too excited about that possibility. Of course I would love that opportunity. Xena seems like it would be nearly impossible to live up to, but I would love to be the one to try. It would definitely be amazing, but I won't worry about that until the fans have had the chance to be introduced to Eve and they express their feedback. Who knows what could happen? Between that possibility and the wonderful things happening to the music group, this coming year will be quite beyond my wildest expectations.
