My mum always reminds me to trust my instincts. If a project doesn't feel right and doesn't excite me, it's likely it won't help me to get to where I want to be.

That's what's cool about working for Disney: everyone gets along. It's like a family.

I have been very careful about what kind of products and companies I endorse just because I don't want to be promoting anything that I don't have any kind of connection to.

My mum always encouraged me that less is more, make-up wise. I think that's why I feel more confident when I have a fresh and natural face.

I have a family member who was in the foster system briefly, and so I've kind of grown up knowing about it myself.

I get on social media sometimes. I think it's good to find a balance and to be able to put your phone down.

It's fun to play dress up for work, but when you have those off-days, it's nice to just be low-key.

If I'm in work mode and going to meetings, I'll make an effort and dress up, but when I'm at home or just chilling, I'm in beanies and jeans and sneakers.

I play guitar and write music, and that's definitely a huge part of my life, but it's my personal thing that I have for me.
