So excited to finally see this one!! 🎬💙

I had such a fun time filming this commercial for National University in Austin, and seeing the finished spot for the first time made me so happy!

So grateful to Paladino Casting for casting me and giving me the opportunity to be part of this project, and to Laura LaCombe / Daniel Hoff Agency for always supporting me. ❤️

And a little shoutout to Michael Druck too! I’ve learned so much from his commercial training and I definitely carry those lessons with me every time I step in front of the camera. 🎥

Really grateful for every set, every experience, and every chance to keep learning and doing what I love. ✨
