I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.

I would say that 'Shake It Up' was a chance for me to do two things I really love: acting and dancing.
One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!
Fashion is a great thing, it's a way to express who you are.
'Shake It Up' definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.
