By 2016, I wasn't just curious about television, I was all in.

After my first casting experience, a production company reached out about a brand-new baking show. That meant going through the entire casting process again, but this time, I got selected.

That experience changed everything. The cameras, the storytelling, and the creative energy made me realize this wasn't just a dream anymore.

In Episode 2 of No Handouts, Just Follow Ups, I'm sharing what it was really like filming my first TV pilot and how that opportunity fueled an even bigger vision for my future.
