A few weeks ago, I was invited to be a guest on the Portland, Oregon talk show “Keep it Local.”  It was a great experience.  There were a few “technical difficulties,” but despite it all, the interview was a lot of fun and for this struggling actress, a bit of positive press is always welcome.  You can view my segment HERE!
