She’s an actress and singer who’s best known for her standout role as Lisa in the Peacock series Bel-Air. That character, originally portrayed by Nia Long in season five of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, got a fresh and modern take with her performance. Fans also recognize her for playing Joy in the popular Netflix series The Chair, where she brought depth and charm to the screen. She even made a brief but memorable appearance in a 2021 episode of the drama series American Rust, showing off her range early in her career.

Before all the spotlight, though, her journey began at just 10 years old when she stepped into the world of professional theater, starring in a Broadway production of The Miracle Worker—a story based on the inspiring life of Helen Keller. It was clear from a young age that she had a gift. Her passion for the arts only grew stronger, leading her to pursue formal training at Carnegie Mellon University, where she was accepted into their competitive Drama/Musical Theatre program. In 2021, she proudly earned her Bachelor’s in Fine Arts, marking a major milestone in her artistic development.

Growing up, music was always a big part of her life. She was raised listening to Christian music, which shaped her early sound and spiritual connection to song. Her father often played 1980s artists on CD, filling the house with nostalgic melodies, but it was watching her mother sing during choir practice that truly sparked her love for performing. That moment—seeing her mom express herself through music—was the beginning of her own journey. And now, with each role she takes on, she continues to build a name for herself, one powerful performance at a time.
