If you could pick any fictional place to go, where would you choose?

I would choose to go to Hogwarts. I grew up with the "Harry Potter" books and movies and really relate to the Hufflepuff house.

What is your go-to TV show or movie to watch at night? 

I love reality television. In the summer, my go-to reality show is "Big Brother." My other guilty pleasure show is "WWE" because it combines two of my favorite activities — acting and athletics.

What is something that never fails to cheer you up? 

My animals. Mia, my 11-year-old corgi/beagle mix and Pearl, my four-year-old long-haired calico cymric. They cheer me up because they’re always happy to see me when I come home.
