I first visited SDSU my sophomore year of high school for a college tour and instantly fell in love. When it ended up being my first acceptance letter to college I knew that it was meant to be that I attended this school.
Who are your acting heroes? Is there anyone you find yourself channeling when you perform?
My acting hero would have to be Barbara Streissand. She is such a natural actor and can make you laugh and cry all in the same movie. I often try to bring her witty and cheerful humor when playing a funny role.
Do you have a pet? If so, how did you get it and what do you like most about it? If not, what would your ideal pet be?
I unfortunately don’t think I would own a pet. I grew up with them not allowed in the house so I never really grew to love them. However, if we could have pet seahorses I would love to have one.
How do you go about finding a new character once you have been cast?
When auditioning, I give a surface level delivery of the character I am going for but when cast I can dive in deeper and find more personality traits and unique qualities that I can use to develop a richer and interesting character.
Do you have a favorite role from past shows? What would that character say about this show? Would they be friends with your character?
My favorite role in a past show would be when I played Amber in Hairspray. It was really fun to play someone who is opposite from me and I could really have fun being the mean character. She would probably hate this show and think everyone was just old and pathetic. She would definitely not be friends with my character because she is really girly, popular, and judgmental whereas I am boyish, quirky and like to help people.
If you could live in New York, what borough would you live in?
I don’t know New York very well but I would probably be somewhere in the middle class. I have a professional career and dress very well but I am not into the status quo or care about fitting in to society.
What are some unique challenges of your character?
I think the hardest challenge is not choosing a gender or acting more like one or the other but trying to be mysterious and not persuade the audience into deciding my gender.
What is Sylvia about, to you?
I think Sylvia is about the natural progression of life and getting older and not getting lost in a set way of life but exploring all that life can bring while on this earth and with other people. Also, to accept people for who they choose to be or what they choose to like and to not judge at first but learn along with them and find the good in things we don’t think we can care about.
