Early life

Her breakout role came later in 2018, when she was cast as Veronica Sawyer in Heathers, the modern-day Paramount television adaptation of the cult classic film. Despite the show's cancellation after its first season, The New Yorker praised her performance as "a strange pleasure."[6]

In 2019, she was cast as Carol DaRonch in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which starred Zac Efron as Ted Bundy. Her performance was praised by The Hollywood Outsider, claiming "she disappears into the role."[7] The same year, she had a recurring role on The Society as Lexie and appeared in 2 episodes of the Starz series, Now Apocalypse.
