She’s an actress best known for her standout performances in the TV series The Real O’Neals and Kevin Can F**k Himself, where her talent truly shined. Over the years, she’s built a solid resume with memorable appearances in popular shows like Superstore, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Shrill. But long before she stepped into the spotlight, she faced a harrowing experience—she was a survivor of the tragic 1998 Westside Middle School shooting in Jonesboro, Arkansas. That event shaped much of her resilience and perspective. During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, she found comfort and safety by quarantining at home with her parents. Through it all, she’s continued to grow not just as an actress but as a person, showing strength and authenticity every step of the way.
Back in 2011, she worked on co-writing the script for a powerful play drawn from her own experiences as a survivor of a school shooting. The production, titled The Warriors, was a deeply personal project that brought her story to life on stage. It ended up premiering in Chicago, marking a significant moment in her journey. Her involvement in shaping the narrative showcased not only her resilience but also her commitment to using art as a form of healing and expression. Through this work, she helped shine a light on an issue that’s close to her heart, and her voice continues to inspire many.
