A Dream Called Cinema and Theater

1-. How was your childhood? I guess you could say I had somewhat of a normal but nomadic childhood…My dad was in the military and we moved around a lot before settling in Southern Illinois when I was 6 years old. I was the youngest with 2 sisters and a brother all of whom were from 4 to 12 years older than me. With that being the case I had to fend for myself as they were mostly not around and Southern Illinois near E. St. Louis was still a rough place back in the 1980s.  2-. From what age did you decide to be an actor and filmmaker and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? (1) For me…acting for film came later in life…I had already been married with children for a number of years and many life experiences when my ex and I split up…then once alone again I eventually found my way into college for Audio Engineering, and songwriting/recording (I had taught myself guitar and wanted to learn to record my own original songs). It was during this time someone brought m

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in Costa Rica in a very small town called Atenas. Since I was little all I wanted to do was to be a performer, I had so many big dreams and so little money to make them come true, but I wasn’t planning on giving up. I’m very thankful that my parents supported me emotionally to follow my dreams even though they couldn’t support me financially. I had a very artistic childhood which I was grateful for because it saved me from all the negative experiences that I went through during my childhood.  2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I decided I wanted to be a dancer and singer when I was 9 years old and then when I was 18 I decided to become a musical theatre actress, that’s when I started training acting professionally. It was until 2022 that I got into film and tv and I found it was a new passion and something I’d like to dedicate my life to. I graduated from 2 year cons

1.- How was your childhood? My childhood was filled with daydreaming…I often used my imagination to escape. Despite being shy and introspective, I was also pretty adventures. I loved playing outside with my friends and coming up with scenarios. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? Being an actress was beyond my reality. It wasn't something I ever seriously considered because it felt impossible. However, looking back, it makes sense because I was always involved in some form of performance arts. I loved using my imagination to create stories. I wrote short stories, poems, a children’s book, and songs. I participated in the school choir and dance recitals and produced a segment on teenage pregnancy for our city’s local channel. Before cell phones, I had a camcorder, and my friends and I would film our activities. I loved everything about filmmaking. College was where I first explored acting. I

1-. How was your childhood? My childhood was pretty normal. I grew up in Sofia, Bulgaria where I was born and it was filled with joy and games. I have a younger brother and I had lots of friends growing up. Even though my parents split up when I was 14 and we went through a lot I can honestly say that I had a nice childhood. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? It may sound cheesy but I knew I wanted to be an actress since I was a child. When I graduated high school I was heavily influenced by the stereotypes in Bulgaria that acting is not a serious profession and so I decided to study psychology. However the day I graduated university I decided that I don’t want to work in psychology and I signed up for acting classes. The first drama scene that I did that I screamed and cried my soul out I got by this huge rush and adrenaline and I just understood in that moment that this is what I want to do for the
