Catherine, you have had an amazing career as an Actor,model and songwriter. How will you express a typical day as you?
My typical day is jammed up! Waking up for school,homework, practice singing, exercise, video games, talking to my friends, answering DM, working on collaborations,taking pictures and videos and auditioning if a script comes in! Then posting to my social networks.
Some days can be really busy!
Can you give us a little ride on your story, how did it all begin?
When I was younger around seven, I was scouted by a photographer and picked up by a model agency. Then I was moved to nyc and began auditioning for tv/film, broadway, commercials and print work. It all just happened so fast!
You sang an original song, "dear self” which was an hit. what was your inspiration to this?
I went through a really dark time during middle school and I would write in this journal about how I was feeling every night, so i just decided to use my notes to help others know its ok to feel broken.
You have collaborated with tons of brands now. Among all of them do you have any favorites?
I currently don’t have any favorites, i only promote products I really like. I use the website yesstyle the most for clothes and socialite for all my influencer needs.
Did quarantine affect your career in any way?
In person auditions slowed down and bookings did as well for tv/film,commercials and print work. A lot has stopped due to safety requirements with Covid-19.
My influencer work has been steady and is keeping me current in the industry.
You definitely will be planning for the future. Do you mind sharing any with us?
I’m hoping to go west to college in California and continue on my career path as an actress.
Can you share any of your recent works?
Yes! You can find all of them on my Instagram. My most recent project was a host and performer for The BSP virtual Holiday Special to benefit the actors fund. It was filled with tons of Broadway stars!
