Q: What can we expect to see on Fish Bowl?

A: Fans at home will see me take the stage in the first ever Fish Bowl. My special guests include puppies, cats, kids, a scuba diver, crazy red crabs and even a surprise visit from my good friends at Nat Geo WILD, Dr. Pol and Cesar Millan. We're not holding back, this event will be complete with plenty of salsa, guacamole, pizza and chips for all!

Q: How did you land this role?

A: I auditioned a few months back in Los Angeles. There were so many upcoming goldfish actresses who wanted the part, I was so pleased when I got the call from Geoff Daniels, Nat Geo WILD's EVP and General Manager. What an honor!

Q: What are you doing to prep for Fish Bowl?

A: I've been watching my water intake to ensure I don't get dehydrated and making multiple laps around the bowl to keep the endurance up.

Q: What do you plan to wear for the red carpet?

A: I'm really excited to wear a new designer called au naturale.

Q: Any tips you can give us on getting ready and staying relaxed?

A: I always get my beauty sleep and make sure I have the best hair and makeup team at my side.
