Tell us a little bit about your background:

I have the best family in the world. They love and support me with all their hearts! I was a hardcore gymnast growing up. I also danced, sang in the school choir and show choir, played clarinet in the school band, played piano, and I was in local plays and musicals. I am a third grade school teacher with a maters degree in school administration. I absolutely love my students! They are the sun in my day! I have always dreamed of being a model/actress. I have been on live television for the Home Shopping Network numerous times and had a blast every time. I love God, people, sports, laughing, making others laugh, writing poetry, teaching, of course acting, modeling, and just about anything else beautiful that God has created!

What is the worst job you have ever had:

I have never had a job that I didn’t like. I like to enjoy every moment no matter what I am doing.

What would be your dream acting job:

To be in a hit sitcom or in a movie!
Who are some of your acting influences:

Tom Hanks! My favorite actor! He can play any role and convince you that is who he really is!

Who are some of your comedic inspirations:

Larry the Cable Guy! I saw him live once and couldn’t stop laughing!

Favorite film and why:

Hmmm I have a few. The notebook because it made me cry and wish I could find love like that. Shooter is a good one because I am a weird girl who actually likes the shoot um up bang – bang types of movies. Finding Nemo and Happy Feet because they just make you feel good! Any movie with Tom Hanks!

Favorite TV series and why:

American Idol! Love it!

What were your first thoughts (and be honest) when you read the script:

Oh my gosh! I could not stop laughing! I still have a hard time not laughing when we run through it!

How do you feel about your character:

What is the best part about working on this sitcom:

Watching the other actors and actresses! They impress me so much! And they have some really funny lines!

Why should people watch this show:

It is sooo funny! It takes the everyday quirks people have and magnifies them into the most hilarious characters! Plus you never know what the characters are going to say next!

Any final comments on Access Denied:

I feel very lucky to be a part of this show! The script is the best I have ever seen, the other cast members are amazing, the producers are awesome, and I believe this show is going to be a big hit!
