WHERE ARE YOUR RIGHT NOW AND HAVE YOU ALWAYS LIVED THERE?
I've been living in Los Angeles for the past 10 years. Prior to this, I lived in the Washington D.C. area.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND RAISED?
I was born in Cameroon, but I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES?
Getting to visit Cameroon over the summer holidays and eating a lot of amazing food that I didn't have in America.

WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE WORLD?
I love to travel and don't have one specific place I like above all else. I'd enjoy getting lost in Paris for a few months though.

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANTED TO WORK WITH CINEMATOGRAPHY AND BE PART OF THE FILM INDUSTRY?
When I was 16 and realized that my desire to communicate and touch people's hearts could be expressed through acting.

HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR LINE OF WORK?
I went to school at the University of Toronto and studied acting and cinema studies while I was there. Over the years, I've kept up with my training by taking acting classes.

DO YOU PURSUE ANY SPECIFIC THEMES IN THE MOVIES YOU PRODUCE?
I'm interested in telling stories that allow the audience to see the world from somebody else's shoes and be able to recognize that we're not as different as we think we are from each other.

WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS WHEN PREPARING FOR A ROLE?
I spend most of my time imagining the circumstances of the story.

WHAT DO YOU GET UP TO OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I love to travel, read, and occasionally binge watch TV shows.

HOW DO YOU STAY IN SHAPE AND CENTERED?
I try to exercise when I can and keep up with my spiritual practice.

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU THAT PEOPLE MAY UNAWARE OF?
One of my guilty pleasures is reading young adult novels.
