Brianna Denski on Wonder Park and her Love of Math and Science

Wonder Park hit theaters this week and we’re chatting with actress Brianna Denski, who voices the main character, June.

Brianna may not be able to create a magical amusement park using her imagination like June does in the movie, but they do share some similarities. Like the character she voices, Brianna is full of energy and has a love for learning.

We were so excited to chat with Brianna all about what fans can expect from Wonder Park, the women who inspire her, and her immense passion for Math and Science!

Get to Know Brianna Denski:

Tell us a little about your new movie, Wonder Park!

BRIANNA DENSKI: Wonder Park is a family friendly movie about a girl, talking animals, and a magical amusement park that needs to be brought back to life. As they work together to save Wonderland, they learn the power of imagination and friendship.

How would you describe your character, June? Do you share any similarities with her?

BRIANNA: June is a smart, imaginative problem solver who is always ready to take on anything. Some similarities we share are that we are both very energetic and always try to look positive at things.

Since Wonder Park takes place at a theme park, what is your favorite theme park ride?

BRIANNA: The scariest ride in the park, always. Roller coasters all the way!

Who are some of your acting inspirations?

BRIANNA: I am inspired by Mila Kunis, Sandra Bullock, and Selena Gomez. All three of them are strong women who always play such strong characters. They have built such amazing careers and are adored by so many people.

What do you like to do for fun?

BRIANNA: I love doing karate, I’m a first-level black belt. I also love riding my bike and I’m passionate about math, science, and biology.

When I was younger, I had this Human Anatomy book that I loved to read. It was actually a college level book, but I read it all the time anyway. I just found out that my school offers a Human Biology course, so I’ll be taking that next year. I can’t wait!

What are three things you can’t live without?

BRIANNA: My phone, my friends, and SWEETS!

If you could plan the perfect weekend with no rules and no budget – what would you want to do?

BRIANNA: I’d want to go on a cruise! There are so many fun things to do on a cruise – from parties to zip-lining to that awesome surfing thing. It would be a lot of fun.

What are three things you can’t live without?

BRIANNA: My biggest goal is to work alongside my idols. I’m actually accomplishing this a bit right now since Mila Kunis is also in Wonder Park!

What is one way you hope to make a difference in the world?

BRIANNA: I want to inspire the next generation of young girls to enjoy Math and Biology as much as I do. I also want them to remember to always use their imaginations and be strong.

How do you shake off a bad day?

BRIANNA: With lots of hugs, lots of sweets, and music!

Do you have any advice you’d like to share with YAYOMG! readers?

BRIANNA: Keep dreaming, you never know what will happen and it’s almost always good!
