Outside of school and auditioning, Whitney loves baking delicious desserts, watching juicy television like True Blood, “Netflix”-ing informative documentaries, and frolicking around the city with her friends and boyfriend, James! She can be found serving amazing mini cupcakes at one of the four Baked By Melissa locations in the city! Stop by and say, “Hello!”
