When did she start acting, we asked?
“I started acting in 2003,you know how it is,getting to watch the likes of Ruth Benemesia Opia on TV. It was a dream come through for me when I finally started acting.You know as a new comer it was really tough finding my way, but over time it became better and I got better too in my acting skills and I have been doing it even since even after relocating here in the states.

For how long has she been acting? “Since 2003 till date, that’s like 18yrs.
