Still smiling about this one.

Booking this Chili’s campaign felt special for a lot of reasons. Not just because I got to work alongside Lizzo, but because moments like this remind me how much all the years of training, auditions, classes, rejection, growth, and persistence actually matter. Huge thank you to Chili’s for selecting me to be part of this campaign.

One thing I kept thinking about on set was how much my favorite improv teacher, Lillian Lehman, continues to serve me in this work even after all these years. So much of what I brought into this job came from lessons I learned from her — staying present, listening, trusting impulses, and committing fully. That foundation really stays with you.

And being around the incredibly talented dancers from LA was genuinely inspiring. Watching their artistry, discipline, and energy up close reminded me how much I miss dance sometimes, while also making me excited knowing the future is in such good hands. Their passion was contagious.

Also, a huge shoutout to my agent and especially to my booker Jona. I really want to acknowledge how hard he works for me daily behind the scenes. The calls, emails, follow-ups, submissions, advocacy, encouragement — that work matters, and I don’t take it for granted. I feel incredibly supported, and I’m deeply grateful.

Grateful for every opportunity.
Can’t wait for more.
