@karajose @unapologeticseries: What’s a defining moment in your life?

@karajose @unapologeticseries: Why did you decide to get into this industry? When I was growing up, movies and television surrounded me.

@amanda_blumenthal: What is your biggest concern with the future? My biggest concern career-wise is getting intimacy coordinators into a union.
