After high school, she studied theater at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She landed her first starring role in the drama "Whatever Lola Wants" (2010), before going on to appear in the aquatic family feature "Dolphin Tale" (2011), and its sequel, "Dolphin Tale 2" (2014), and the horror thriller "Last Shift" (2014).
