I\u2019m an actress based in Los Angeles, working mainly in film and TV. I was born and raised in Italy and later moved to Los Angeles, where I graduated from the Los Angeles acting conservatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I grew up in a dance\/musical school owned by my mom, so I was always in that environment and fell in love with acting at a young age. I remember watching movies and being amazed by how much you can learn and experience through actors’ performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always knew that in this industry, facing rejection is part of the deal. I initially thought I could handle it, believing I was mature enough. However, it wasn’t the case, and it took time and effort to learn to cope. Eventually, I understood that rejections aren’t personal; they don’t define my skills. It simply means someone else was a better fit. I’m grateful for every rejection; it pushed me to work even harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I admit there are times when I feel unmotivated and unfocused. It’s important to understand what can bring you back on track. For me, watching a great movie, listening to a motivational speech, or talking to a loved one usually helps. Also, reflecting on how far I’ve come keeps me going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This industry taught me resilience and the importance of not giving up. That’s the key\u2014never giving up, no matter how tough things get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, success isn’t about fame. It’s about being part of meaningful movies. If I can make someone in the audience laugh, resonate with them, make them feel seen, learn something, or inspire them, I consider that a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My main goal is to be a successful actress to a point where I can choose which movies or characters to portray. Additionally, supporting my family is crucial. Continuous learning, improvement, and perseverance are my pathways toward these goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Balancing opportunities and personal life can be tricky, especially in the early stages of a career. It’s essential to prioritize and recognize when to focus on different aspects. Ultimately, solely focusing on a career won’t lead to happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be prepared to fail and fight not to give up. Above all, believe in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many think it’s all fun and easy. As much as I love what I do, sometimes it’s incredibly challenging\u2014long hours on set, minimal sleep\u2014yet you have to give your best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being part of meaningful movies and doing what I love for a living is invaluable. Additionally, learning new skills for different characters is both exciting and rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dancing has always been a passion of mine. Whenever I have the chance, I enjoy going to the studio to dance and have fun. However, my primary passions revolve around my work and the continual learning it offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learning basic ASL (American Sign Language) for a character is something I’ll always be thankful for. Moreover, this industry has taught me strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wouldn’t want to know everything ahead. Learning from mistakes is the most powerful way to evolve and improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a learning process\u2014keeping focus on the goal and believing in oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The importance of believing in myself earlier in my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m proud of my career progression thus far and proud of not giving up, despite the challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe movies are a powerful tool to teach and make an impact. I aspire to be part of impactful movies and possibly produce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t have any regrets; every mistake has taught me something and led me to where I am today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Instead of thinking that things are happening to you, consider that they are happening for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Researching, watching movies, and keeping an eye on the current market trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During my first in-person audition, although I’d prepared meticulously, I encountered a room filled with at least 30 other women who resembled me. It was such a strange sight and threw me off completely. When I went in, my mind went blank\u2014I couldn\u2019t recall any lines. It was a moment of panic. Looking back, although I left that audition in tears and frustration, I’ve learned to laugh about it and move forward, understanding that circumstances sometimes affect us, and that’s alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
