Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

 

A) I just starred in the Lifetime TV thriller Deadly Matrimony and I am constantly filming “Sh%t Southern Women Say” videos on You Tube. We have over 21 million views. Check us out at the ‘Southern Women Channel’ on YouTube!

 

Q) What is new this season on “Hit the Floor” and with your character Kyle?

 

A) This season is full of more sex, scandal, cliffhangers and jaw dropping dance routines, along with a few new juicy characters! My character Kyle is now the Captain of the Los Angeles Devil Girls, so the fans have a lot in store from the sassy southern belle Kyle.

 

Q) What keeps challenging you about your portrayal?

 

A) Every season the writers give Kyle more drama, bigger story lines and, of course, more comedy, but I would say one of the biggest challenges on our show is the dancing. Trying to juggle all of the dances and the scenes never gets easier, but in the end it is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever accomplished.

 

Q) The cast is so close on screen. Is it that way for all of you off screen as well?

 

A) Oh Ya!! We are one big goofy family! I really think that our off-screen chemistry portrays on screen and it’s one of the reasons our fans connect with us. You can’t fake that.

 

Q) What has been your favorite part about Kyle’s evolution and growth throughout the series?

 

A) Kyle went from stripper, to dancer and now Captain of the Devil Girls. I’d say that is a major evolution in itself. But off the court she has had to deal with love, death and money troubles. No matter what Kyle always keeps a positive attitude and is constantly reaching for the top.

 

Q) Who would be your dream guest star to see on the show?

 

A) I think Beyoncé would be an amazing guest star! Maybe she could join the Devil Girls for a few dances!

 

Q) What has been some of your most memorable moments from filming throughout the years?

 

A) The pool dance for sure, that was by far the most fun dance to shoot! The dance in the woods that we performed for Raquel (Valery M. Ortiz) was probably the most magical and tear-jerking dance we have ever done.

 

Q) What have you taken away, personally, from your time working on “Hit the Floor?”

 

A) I have grown so much as a human being and a dancer. I have learned not to care so much what people think of me and to be true to myself. I can thank Kyle for that!

 

Q) What do you think it is about “Hit the Floor” that made it such a fan favorite show?

 

A) I have to give credit to our show creator James LaRosa for his genius writing and creating such multi leveled characters. Our on and off screen chemistry shines through and I believe the fans pick up on that. I have met several fans that feel like they know me and immediately give me a huge hug, and I love it!

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and the work?

 

A) Your support means the world to me! It fills my heart to know that I can bring a smile to your face and if I can make you laugh then I have done my job. Without support from our fans we wouldn’t have a show and especially Season 4 of “Hit The Floor.”
