Q: How did you hear about the Power Rangers role?
A: I was working with the casting director on a stage play that I was directing and she was producing.

Q: Did you audition for any other roles?
A: With the series, no. I didn't know too much about the show but I love doing any role where I can truly play a character.

Q: Which cast member were you closest with?
A: Rajia! She is one of my dearest friends!

Q: Do you still keep in touch with any cast members?
A: I do with Rajia! She is one in a million!

Q: How would you compare yourself with your character?
A: In certain situations, I am a quiet observer and I drink a ton of water. I think those are the only similarities.

Q: Which episode was your favorite?
A: The one where we were trying to get any sort of water and I had to eat a ton of popsicles! I love to eat! It was very funny to film.

Q: What was the most challenging part on the show?
A: Trying to come up with a character without having a lot of lines and back story to work off of.

Q: If you could return to PR, would you?
A: I would but would love to play a more vocal type of role.

Q: Who was your favorite character in the show?

Q: What are your favourite hobbies?
Seeing Theatre, spending as much time with my family and doing charity work.

Q: When did you decide to become an actor?
A: I was 4 years old and saw a tour of Peter Pan. I never looked back again!

Q: What advice do you have for other inspiring actors?
A: Work on the BUSINESS side of show business. I can't stress that enough. So many performers of any sort go into this without any knowledge or business sense and expect to be handed everything to them. It is a ton of work and you need to know as many sides of the business as you can. That way you can appreciate everyone's jobs.

Q: Who are the inspirations in your life?
A: My parents for always supporting me and showing me what a great relationship is, My husband for pushing me even further than I trust myself, and my kids for keeping me young and always making me laugh!

Q: What are you currently working on?
A: I am working on a ton of different projects at once. Currently, I am doing two stage plays, touring a musical that I wrote, and in preproduction on two other television shows which I am producing and staring in.

Q: Have ever got a chance to don the Black Aquitian Ranger suit?
A: I did not get to wear the fighting Black Aquitian Ranger suit but I had a wonderful costume for the the run.

Q: Would you return to Power Rangers?
A: I would definitely return if it were the right circumstances. I love the whole experience of the Power Rangers!

Q: Did you know about Power Rangers before you auditioned?
A: I knew of the Power Rangers but I had not seen any of the episodes.

Q: When is your birthday?
A: April 2

Q: What's your favorite color?
A: Purple, which is great because the base of the Aquitian uniforms were a cool purple!

Q: Did you ever get to keep anything from the set?
A: No, I did not get to take anything from the show. I don't think there would have been anything that we could have gotten at the time due to everything being used over again. I did ask if I could buy one of my costumes as they had two sets but alas, they would not let me.

Q: Have you watched any other season of the show?
A: I have been out of the loop as far as the series goes. I happened to walk in on my kids watching the new Power Rangers series the other day but I was working on a project with a client and could not get back in to watch it with them. I was a bit surprised to see my daughter was interested in the Power Rangers because I didn't know she knew anything about them.
