What has it been like getting to work with Band-Aid Brand again?
I remember thinking last year, I hope I get to work with them again.
Now, it’s a year later, and it happened.

It’s been so much fun to work with the Band-Aid Brand again.
I hold onto those memories from when I was five, and I loved revisiting them.
It was great to sing the jingle again and create videos with the brand.

Are there any other childhood memories you look back on fondly?
Being inThe Smurfsmovie with Neil Patrick Harris was so much fun.
There are so many things that I’ve done, and sometimes I don’t remember them all.

I am always thankful for these opportunities, but there are so many to choose from.

What are some of the lessons you learned early on in your career?
Being in the industry, it’s possible for you to sometimes get discouraged or overthink.
But if there’s something you really want to do, you should always do it.
That’s something I wish I could tell my younger self.
What’s the best piece of beauty advice you’ve ever received?
But that’s not the case.
When I was younger, my makeup routine used to take an hour.
Now, it takes me 15 minutes.
I just apply a skin tint, do my brows,apply eyelashes, and uselip gloss.
Are there any viral beauty trends you want to try?
Whenever I wearlip liner, it always comes off after eating or drinking.
What beauty essentials are always in your bag?
I also always carry lip gloss with me.
What else are you working on this year?
I have so many fun projects coming up.
Do you have any advice for aspiring Gen Z actors?
Don’t ever give up.
The industry can be hard; sometimes, you’ll hear “no” more than “yes.”
That’s okay, though, because not everything in the world is meant for you.
I had to learn that.
So, it’s important not to get discouraged and continue to perfect your craft no matter what.

Aside from work, how do you practice self-care?
My favorite things are getting a massage or going to the chiropractor.
My back can get stiff and needs a reset sometimes.
If I’m at home, I love to do myskincare routineand hang out with my dog.
I’m such a chill person when I’m not working.
I love spending the day at home, watching my shows, and ordering from UberEats.
