What is the best thing about your job?
Sharing my indescribable passion for entertainment with the world, and embarrassing all the gifts God has blessed me with.

What was your most embarrassing audition moment?
I was on an audition for a project that required singing. I began to open my mouth to sing a song for the casting and instead of the note, I busted out a loud burp! I turned red as a tomato, but laughed it off and the casting directors wound up loving me even more, because I was just very real and didn't let it bring me down. So never get yourself down if you get embarrassed, the person might find it funny and like you even more! Always laugh it off and give them a little "oops!" : )

If you could live in any past era which would it be and why?
The 80's! They had the hottest fashion with the most vibrant colors and exaggerative make-up and accessories, being a girly-girl, accessories go a LONG way. The music was also upbeat and fun. The 80s just describes my personality loud, vibrant, fun and full of different colors and dimensions.

Who is your role model?
Jessica Simpson, I love how she is pure and wholesome, she's one of the most beautiful people in the world without the make-up and proactive, clothing etc. She also respects herself as I do. Jessica has morals she abides by and is spiritual. I love her over-all presence, she just sparkles!

What do you do for fun?
Spend quality time with my family; we're all very close, loud and fun.
There's nothing like being with my family. They are the reason I breathe and my everything. I also enjoy the beach, shopping (of course), getting mani/pedis, surfing, having sleepovers and doing make-overs, being with my beautiful best friends, laughing, and just being silly and unique like always! I'm always up to try new things.

Tell us about your pets.
Well unfortunately my two pets recently passed away, but everything does happen for a reason so I've learned to stand strong and let it go. Anyways I had the cutest little pup pup her name was Chanel like the brand, and a beautiful cat named Carmel, she was my little love. Carmel had the most gorgeous eyes and loving heart, I had a very special connection with her. Chanel was my little cupcake <3 hehe she had the fluffiest, whitest fur. She was a tiny Maltese with the most magnetic personality. I used to dress her up in all sorts of adorable outfits or even silly outfits and take pictures, I also painted her nails (pink of course)! We definitely treated our pets as a part of the family, I considered them my sisters! I felt like I could connect with them just like any other person.

Do you have a good luck charm?
Yes! I have many good luck charms and little rituals of my own. One thing I always carry with me is a picture of my guardian angel, my grandma Milly. She guards me and guides me through whatever life throws at me and I've always overcome everything and persevered happily. God bless.

Do you like to cook? If so, what?
I love to cook, I find it fun! Being fully Italian, I'd have to say meatballs and macaroni is my fav! Then again I love many different foods (Mexican, Southern-style, Asian, Greek etc.) Although my mother does all the cooking with help here and there from my father (who usually does the barbequing), I definitely find joy in helping out or even cooking myself! =)

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Mmmm, cake batter or sweet cream from Coldstones with whipped cream and CAN'T FORGET the rainbow sprinkles on top <3 yummy

Favorite kids book?
Well, I must admit I am probably the biggest Barbie fan in the world. When I was little, in school and until this day people would call me "Barbie" or "life size Barbie," so being the girly girl that I am I would have to say my favorite kid's book is any series of Barbie's!

If you could interview any celeb whom would it be and why?
I would definitely interview Madonna; I feel that she is not only a superstar, but a believer and a legend. She's a music icon.

Anything about yourself you wish you could change?
I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so blessed and I thank God for everything single aspect of who I am. I wouldn't be myself if I changed something. I believe everything happens for a reason. You have every feature you were born with for a reason, it's who you are! =)

If you could be granted 3 wishes, they'd be.
1. For my family and I to live extremely long, healthy lives.
2. For doctor's to find the cure to deadly diseases (cancer, AIDS, etc.)
3. For everyone in this world to be encouraged by my famous little quote "Nothing's impossible." I just want everyone to find themselves and never change for other individuals who have jealousy issues or are trying to bring them down etc.

Where on earth are you most dying to go?
To the top of the world, through my career. I want to be successful and spread positive vibes through my music or any entertaining I indulge in.
