If I could have one superpower I think it would be teleporting. I love,the idea of skipping the 405 LA traffic.

I first got into acting when I took an acting class in New York City. I,lived in New York for about five years and was always surrounded by so,much art and culture. My family would take me to plays and musicals and,I always kind of thought to myself that I could maybe do something like,that in the future, that it all looked so exciting. .
