She’s an actress best known for her standout performance in the 2021 Netflix hit *Moxie*, a role that truly put her on the map. Since then, she’s continued to build an impressive resume, including a notable appearance in the critically acclaimed 2019 adaptation of *Little Women*. Fans may also recognize her from her roles in the TV series *Utopia* and *Fosse/Verdon*, both of which showcased her range and depth as a performer. All in all, she’s already accumulated over 10 different acting credits in what’s still a relatively early stage of her career—pretty remarkable when you think about it. Before all the spotlight, though, life looked quite different. She spent her formative years living in England and Switzerland, soaking up diverse cultural experiences that likely shaped her artistic perspective. Eventually, she pursued her passion seriously by attending The Juilliard School, one of the most prestigious performing arts conservatories in the world. While there, she immersed herself in theater, taking part in several stage productions that helped hone her craft. Interestingly, her love for acting started at a young age. She once shared a fond memory of her parents taking her to see *A Midsummer Night's Dream* in Stratford-upon-Avon—an experience that sparked something deep within her. Looking back, it’s clear that her journey, from those early moments to her current success, has been anything but accidental. She’s definitely one to watch moving forward.
