QUOTES

Getting ready for the aca-madness
my mom put me in dance classes age 3/4
we would put on performances at christmas time
I got my Bachelors in Theater
This feature film was filming in Baton Rouge, Louisina
It filmed on my campus, I got to be the tour guide for the girls coming in
I definitely have a huge support system
My mom is my biggest cheerleader
My mom wanted to blow up a lifesize picture of me for her Pitch Perfect party
My mom is definitely a go big or go home type of person
It´s a world of rejection
If you ask yourself every day what have you done to day to further yourself in your career
You have to know what you´re selling and what people are buying

(Broadway)Watching those major productions, actors/actresses having the time of their life gave me chills

ON PITCH PERFECT
4 Week Bootcamp Acapella
First film we don´t know each other
We´ve never been an acapella group
8 hours of music rehearsals, 8 hours of music and dancing at the same time
Exhausting, hard but we powered through it and became a unit, group
The girls are a collective unit
A group of hard working women.
They took us out to dinner to enjoy each others company
Sullivans Steak House always took care of us
We would put our feet up and watch The Bachelorette
The reality mirrored the script of it. We were really in competition. We wanted to beat the boys
3 years later, graduating seniors. New Rival Group. Going to the World competition
If you enjoyed the first one, the second one is more comedy, more dancing singing and competition
Pitch Perfect was my first film
Being on set was such an eye opening experience for me

BEST ADVICE
Keep Learning
Keep showing up!
