Growing up, I never thought about becoming an actress because I never saw deaf people in TV or movies. I didn't think it was possible.

A lot of people say the middle child is the most adventurous. That's me!

When I was younger I didn't want to hang around with anyone. But now I feel so comfortable. I convey my thoughts, my emotions, I can communicate better, I have a better understanding of the world. Now I have a sense of purpose. It makes me think a lot more about things.

I always wanted to be a cop or a fireman or do something dangerous.

If you're disabled or different from what general society deems normal, it's fine. There will always be people who won't accept you, but there are others you can find who will. You're never alone.

New York is my favorite city. I would love to move there one day.

To really understand a deaf person's experience, you need someone that is deaf to be able to tell you what their experience is.

But I was always comedic and would tell stories and use a lot of expressions.

When I lost my hearing, my mom got a deaf mentor to come into the home.
