@leahvbee: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

There is no shortage of opportunities. I know I struggle with my own competitive spirit, and I’m actively working on tempering that as I get older. We succeed by lifting each other up & then tossing the ladder back down, and there’s room for all of us in the sun on the other side of… Read More @leahvbee: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

But I bring this up because this knowledge… Read More @leahvbee: What’s a defining moment in your life?

@leahvbee: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

When I was little, I desperately wanted to believe that magic was real. I was always ready for secret doors and letter-carrying owls — but nothing ever came. But that degree of magic exists on screen, and I’ve been mesmerized since childhood by entertainment, storytelling, and the potential a person has to exist in an… Read More @leahvbee: Why did you decide to get into this industry?
