During her middle school period, she developed a deep love for emo and alternative music acts like Twenty One Pilots, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy, which became central to her personal identity.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she revealed that her peers couldn’t relate to her passionate interest in the subculture, reports the Mirror.

“I was kind of an outsider because I was into things more than the normal kid would be,” she remembered. “And I got bullied for it.”

Today, she has a more mature perspective on those experiences, explaining: “Some people can’t let go of the fact that people enjoy things that make them happy.”

She began her professional acting journey at 16 and went on to appear in A Taste of Christmas and Girl in the Basement.

Her career-defining moment came when she landed the role of the delayed-blooming werewolf Enid in Netflix’s Wednesday, though she has secured several other Netflix projects since then. She graced the screen in the comedy flick Family Switch, sharing the spotlight with Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, and Brady Noon, and took on the lead role in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which is currently streaming on Netflix and has garnered worldwide attention.

Despite portraying Wednesday’s best friend in Netflix’s rendition of the Addams Family, she confessed that she identifies more with Wednesday herself.

In a chat with Elite Daily, she shared: “I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted and I don’t have a lot of energy.

“Enid’s very, very energetic and loves talking to people, while I, on the other hand, get really nervous.”
