Recently, we’ve also seen your guest starring on an episode of ‘Fire Country’, with your character getting a spin-off series ‘Sheriff County’ in 2025. Tell us more about this project and how it came about?

I was asked if I would consider guest starring on ‘Fire Country’ with the hopes of a spin-off. I was very excited right away. We had to work out some logistics  about locations and all that, but after that it was just about seeing if the character had legs. I am so excited to start shooting that. I love the ‘Fire Country’ family and show, and my spin-off will have that same heart and heart stopping action. Mickey Fox is a complex and great character. I relate a lot to her. She wants to do her best always and sometimes is faced with her own shortcomings. It’s also an amazing story about the town and the people, and how complicated relationships are. 

How did your career in acting begin? What ignited your passion for performance?

I grew up around the arts. My family back in Brazil were very involved. My mom was an actress in Brazil and I grew up in the theatre. I must have absorbed it through osmosis. When I decided to go to LaGuardia High School, I really fell in love with acting. 

Out of all the roles you’ve worked on so far, which one made the biggest impact on you both professionally and personally, and why?

I think playing Jessica Brody was a huge growth moment as an actor. It was a different kind of role and I really had to throw myself in. It earned me an Emmy nomination and showed me that sometimes giving your heart and soul hurts, but is satisfying.
