But Fernandez was down to roll with it all: In an episode where everyone had to act excited as a CGI Pillsbury Doughboy made its way into the show, Fernandez hammed it up with the other contestants, who she said were thrilled to bring “movie magic” to life. And though she wishes some of her facial expressions hadn’t made the final cut, she said it all “made for good TV.”
“You really wear what you think on your face, don’t you?” Fernandez said, also noting that she was proud of herself for leaning in and “wasn’t afraid to take big swings and show up every day.”
Though Fernandez hasn’t made the Forbes 30 Under 30 List “yet,” she noted she recently had an interview with the outlet. Meanwhile, she’s focused on growing as a marketer, taking on more commercial and branded production work, and enjoying the reactions now that she can share her news with the world.
“I’m lucky I have the opportunity to be head of brand at a consumer brand right now, run marketing campaigns, and do that kind of work,” Fernandez said. “I’m excited to keep doing that work, keep getting better, and—yeah—ride the wave.”
