“Comparison is a thief of joy. Stop comparing yourself to others. Enjoy your own journey. Savor the moment. And having that kind of mindset makes you so much more confident in yourself without having to try to be anyone else but yourself.”

“Be patient with yourself. This industry really requires a lot of patience, because you never know when your time will come. The path isn't linear, and it won't always make sense, but as long as you focus on the work and don't lose your determination, you'll find your way. Stay hungry, keep showing up, keep learning. Be honest with yourself, and don't lose who you are by trying to be what others expect you to be.”

“I take care of my health because it is my real wealth. As I try to maximize the opportunities being given to me, I also try to stay committed to staying healthy and encouraging other young adults to do the same.”

“What I realized about being an actress in the industry, there's this common misconception that it's easy work—it's really not.”

“I really want to experience everything. I want to experience different genres, I want to experience different roles. Because at the end of the day, it's gonna help me grow and improve as an actress.”
