LG: Mockumentary often provides further insight into characters as individuals. How did you use this format to develop your character, Serena?
KK: Yes! That is truly the best and my favorite part of living in the mockumentary world. You get to break the fourth wall and express what you really think inside. It creates such a bond with the audience. Especially for Serena, she wears her emotions on her face and does not shy away from telling you how she feels, so having those moments looking into the camera really gives you an insight to who she is and what she’s thinking.

LG: Serena simultaneously explores her career as well as her personal identity. In what ways do you see yourself in Serena?
KK: I mean she humps a desk in the first episode and when I read that in the pilot script I said “well, they obviously wrote Serena based on me!” I love Serena. I think she is very close to who I am in real life because I too cannot hide my emotions and tend to say whatever’s on my mind. She’s had a wild life before, I imagine, and now she’s settled in a small town hospital in Oregon discovering adulting and finding real genuine connections with her people. It’s all part of growing up and I am growing up with her in my real life, which is really cool.
