I actually can’t say much. My role is ‘To Be Announced.’ But I can tease that she’s a fiery chick! When I got to the end of auditioning for my role, I thought I need to get into this show. I watched three seasons in a week. I love it.

The Perfectionists premieres Wednesday, March 20 at 8 p.m. EST on Freeform.
