I love being in musicals or plays because you have the chance to act and be someone that you are not or would never be! Love it.
How I developed my love for Cheetah:
Growing up I have always loved hanging out with my 3 younger girl cousins. I would do their hair and makeup and we would put on runway shows. They introduced me to Disney Channels, “the Cheetah Girls.” Many of my friends laugh at me for liking them, but they are a very talented group. I even went to a concert of theirs with my cousins! Ever since then I have loved anything Cheetah. It is so cute and stylish!

TV/Film
Being a contestant on the CMT competition "Can You Duet” has really given me a different and more positive outlook on life. After my partner and I were cut in the semifinals round I was shocked to see myself not very upset rather thinking it just was not meant to be. I was bummed but I remembered my motto that “everything happens for a reason.” I was just so overjoyed with this wonderful opportunity and for getting called back to even be on the show! After all we auditioned on a whim. We found out 5 days before the auditions, got our flights and hotel room set and left for Nashville. What an experience! Being on the show has taught me that you cannot give up on your dreams. Yes, there are others out there who want to make it just like me, but I feel the unique quality of determination and working towards my dream.
