My imagination was an escape as a child and mermaids, fairies and witches were protectors. These characters made me feel validated.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
I was about 6 or 7 and I dressed up a a zombie, killer, bride. The story goes, I was at the alter ready to say yes, when I catch onto yearning looks between my husband to be and my bridesmaid. So in a moment of haste, I murder them. Erupting chaos at my wedding, lucky for me, the zombie apocalypse had just begun so I got to kill them before the dead did. I let the zombies take me. I walked the streets of my hometown making kids younger and older cry/run in fear.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I am 100% final girl material. I have the right amount of curiosity, paranoia, and feminine rage within me to make it to the end. I'm a creative. We think outside the box and we aren't afraid to get sprayed by the blood of our enemies.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I would invest it into my acting career. I would use it to clear whatever debt I have and then the rest to pay for an RV for me and my partner to move to either California or North Carolina in the pursuit of our dreams. His dream of music and acting as mine. I already have an agent waiting for my arrival.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
Many might say family, if they're lucky to be able to say so. If I am truly honest, I am my own hero. Anyone who has trauma may understand why I would say this. It takes a lot of courage, strength and willpower to push through and rise above. I loved myself enough to be here today and not only that, but I love myself enough to be cringe in the name of following what I am passionate about. I loved myself enough to fight my demons both physical and mental. I have never let my fear stop me.
