Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
Because she grew up as an only child, she was always very imaginative.
2.
When she was in high school, she felt like she didn't fit in because everyone was so focused on sports and she was unathletic.
3.
Her English teacher pointed out that there was another area that she could excel in: theater and drama.
4.
She'd known she had a talent for storytelling and acting, but now, for the first time, she realized she could make a career of it.
5.
Decided to move from Tasmania to Sydney, Australia so she could try to enter the entertainment industry.
6.
For a long time, she struggled-she couldn't find an agent, couldn't get any work as an extra, and was making coffee to get by.
7.
Briefly went to law school because she'd started to believe that acting wasn't going to work out.
8.
After six weeks, she dropped out and went "all in" on pursuing acting; before long, she had her first movie role.
