Which friend or friends will you miss most from Bangor and why?

Sophia Villano, Kristen Stopfer, and Avery Bailey. I know I will see them at least once or twice more in my life but they had always been there for me no matter what. We could always get through any of the crap and drama life presented us with.

When the Rock didn’t show up at Sadie’s even though I specifically asked him to.

Which band could play the soundtrack to your high school career and why?

If there were a movie made about your high school days, which actor would play your part and why?

I’d say Zooey Deschanel. She looks the most like me and is very musical and weird. She tends to make up words if she doesn’t know her full script, which I tend to do a lot.

What is your favorite quote to live by and why?

“Isn’t it a wonderful thought that our best days haven’t happened yet?” Because I tend to feel like I have no time left, and I want my future to come so fast, and sometimes I need to remind myself that the best days haven’t happened, so I still have things to look forward to, and my best days will constantly be my future.

I guess just the feeling I get of performing, and I get to tell a story and be somebody else, which puts me in someone else’s shoes, and I gain so much appreciation for other people in my life.

What musical theater singer inspires you the most?

Eva Noblezada. No one knows who that is I’m sure, but she is a broadway actress, who’s voice first of all is so pure and phenomenal, but her morals and love for the world and for people no matter who they are is very inspiring to me.
