WM: What do you do now? Where do you live (and for how long)? 


CK: I am doing what I always wanted to do, I’m an actress and producer and am currently living in Hollywood, California where I have been living for almost 4 years and I love it. I've produced two feature Independent Movies: Club Dead and She's With Me. They were fun, but a lot of work, a lot of sleepless nights! I also helped cast a web series called Professional Friend, which is hilarious, and winning loads of awards right now and my favorite I got to be in Joss Wedon’s Much Ado Noth- ing which was an amazing experience because he was my Idol growing up. 
 

WM: What was the key moment in your life when you realized what you want to do/what career to pursue? Who or what in uenced you to become who and what you are today? Explain AISB's part of it.

CK: Since I was two years old and I started watching American Movies such as Beethoven and The Goonies my dream was to move to California and be involved in the lm industry no matter if it was in front or behind the camera I would be completely satis ed. AISB and its teachers de nitely played a big part in shaping me into the person I am today. Greg Jemison helped me become a better actor and person as my mentor all through high school. Every play and musical he pushed me further than I thought I could go and I have to thank him for where I am today and giving me the drive and ambition I have today. Of course, Doctor Chapman also made me the person I am today by showing me there is a world outside of AISB. 
 

Now I feel like I am writing my senior statement, ha-ha. There are so many people and teachers I could name that I will forever be thankful to: Mr. Nic for telling me to shut up when I talked too much and believed in our softball skills. Mr. Born and his great English class that inspired us with his sensitivity and depth of literature. Of course, I cannot forget to mention my wonderful friends who make high school what it was. Anca Stanescu, always a jumping energy bean but inspired me to be a better stronger person, just like the strong woman she was, Rima Sacre for always making me smile and forever my chicken, George Mucibabibici for always believing me and seeing me for who I really was, Ana Zaharia for making me believe anything was possible, Andrea Vlad for teaching me how to be tough and not to take any- thing from anyone and Vlad Constanda for always making me laugh and mak- ing Drama the best it could be. All these people shaped me into the person I am today or at least made me ready to take on the world.

WM: What are your top best things/ memories at AISB?

CK: My top best things and memories at AISB would have to be the softball trips we took as the Softball Varsity Team. I loved those because we were literally put into foreign countries with people from all di erent grades and we had to all get to know each with Mr. Nic who was the funniest and only sometimes serious coach. We weren’t the top team but we always gave our best and had loads of fun!

Another crazy memory would be prob- ably on our Senior Prank day. We went around as a class moving all the chairs and tables around, sticking out of windows and then Mrs. Murray came and told us, that it looks so nice and we are ruining it all! I remember I got so mad with her for ruining our prank day, her and me got into a tug of war with a chair! 
 

WM: Tell us a "crazy" AISB memory and name 3 AISB "partners in crime".
 

CK: A crazy AISB memory.... Probably our Senior Trip to the beach in Romania. The great thing about it was that it wasn't just for people that were graduating, it was for peo- ple that had been in our class and left. So, we got to see people that were our best friends and had moved to other places. Anca and Andrea organized the trip and from the very rst night, there was dancing on tables at La Cucara- cha. My partners in crime would de nitely have to be Anca Stanescu, Andrea Vlad and Ana Zaharia. Not only did we do crazy things together (some are not for the faint hearted) but they supported me through everything and always had my back.
 

WM: What do you like most about your life (both work and life style)?
 

CK: What I really love about my life right now is actually waking up in Hollywood and being able to see the Holly- wood sign. It reminds me every day of my dreams and gives me the drive I need to push me to where I want to go. I love the friends I have here, all artists and actors, producers etc.; everyone is working to achieve their goals and it’s nice to see you aren’t the only one. I’ve also created a side busi- ness of my own in the Health and Wellness industry with Arbonne International and I love it because I get to change and make people’s lives better.

I am also married now and I love that part of my life! I am de nitely a planner, and this was not in my plans. My husband David Morales, is also a producer and actor so we will de nitely be an industry couple ha-ha. I love him and love all the goodness he has in him.

The other cheesy part I love is the celebrities. Whenever I go to a party and meet a celebrity like for example Will I AM, it's another reminder to me where I am and how far I can go. The whole town is inspiring.
 

WM: You have the chance to give advice to the current students. What would you say?

CK: I would probably say to the current students that, ev- erything that happens to you right now, every rumor, every mistake you make probably seems like it’s the end of the world, that’s it, you are dead. But its not, that’s the AISB bubble, just take a breath and remember you have a whole world ahead of you, a whole life outside the school, use these years to make yourself a stronger and better person.
 

WM: What do you think the AA's priorities should be? What AA activities would you like to see happening or attend?

CK: I think AA has been doing great and its lovely to see all the activity it has been doing with charities and reunions etc. I would really like to see a reunion in America! Maybe in Hollywood (hint hint) I de nitely have some venue ideas ha-ha.

WM: What are you doing for the holidays and why?
 

CK: For the holidays I am staying in Hollywood and doing a small Christmas with my husband as it’s too far to y and he has school. But for New Years we are planning to go all out in gowns and tuxedos with my friends and probably go to Vegas! I cant wait to Start the Year with a bang!
