Thrilled I got to voice the mysterious shapeshifter Hemming on Monster High!💀 Grateful for not only getting to showcase another accent from another corner of my world, but getting to play someone who always felt like an outsider. Sure he’s a were-whale, but I can relate!🐳 No spoilers, but eventually he does find his true form as a were-polarbear thanks to the Boo Crew🫶 Thank you so much to @sheafontana @jeanninecasting @nickelodeon Lisa Schaffer and all the amazing cast and crew for creating a beautiful show about identity, belonging and found family❤️ Congrats on a lovely Season 2!🙌🏾  #monsterhigh #monsterhighg3 #animation #nickelodeon #voiceover #voiceactor

== Love Notes ==

Hoo boy. There's been a lot over the last couple days. Sorry again for the delays crew.. and thank you so much for all the kindness and love you've been sending to me and my dad. 

I just wanted to say tonight that it's been so damn lovely seeing everyone happy again. Sure there's been some conjecture too as there always will be with big fan events, but for the most part-- the pure amount of joy and fun that came out of Babe Day and the S2 Finale Anniversary was something that recharged my tired heart with love. Especially with David, Alex, Samba, and everyone else who joined into the mix answering questions or sharing BTS.

The fandom feels electric and alive, and I hope we still stay that way going forward until we inevitably hear about S3 (I'm manifesting, you can't stop me!).

I truly hope your week is filled of fun, and joy, and love and that you get some much needed rest.

Take care Crew <3 Thinking of you.
