What’s your favourite scene from "Settle Down" and why?

I'd have to say the scenes between Remy and Sandra - they are so funny and we've all been there!

If you had to describe "Settle Down" to a friend in one sentence, what would you say?

A heartfelt romp into the crazy world of dating in search of maybe finding that one true soulmate, with numerous bumps along the way!

What do you enjoy doing when you're not acting?

Raising my daughter Lily as a single parent :)

Do you have any rituals or habits to get into character before a scene?

Music is an easy way in, and shoes and wardrobe also help me find my character. Jolanta upped my game - hair, nails, leg wax! She helped me shift into a more professional/doctor version of myself!

Do you see any of yourself in the character you play on the show?

Oh yes!! Though I'm not a therapist by any means,I'm also an acting coach and run my own studio, The Lighthouse Acting Studio, where I first met Alex! Like Jolanta, I try to help my students get clear on where they want to be going, what might be in their way, and how to move through it!
