“I wanted to be a zoologist and travel the world and study animals,” she says. “Me being a phone sex operator, that was never an idea in my head.”
She describes herself as an introverted child who preferred reading a book at recess to playing with her classmates.
She got involved in theater in middle school, a decision which set her down a professional path she never would have imagined.
“From that point on, it totally changed whatever I was going to do with my life. Now I can’t imagine not doing theater,” she says. “Theater, acting, playing different parts, exploring humanity – I just can’t get over it.”
