Appearances

Television

iCarly – In iCarly, I play Sam Puckett (a tough, feisty girl with a biting wit). Carly and Sam are basically the opposites of each other, but they’re best friends. I am having the most wonderful time working on this job! Everyone is so kind and hilarious. We’re all great friends already! Keep checking on my journal, cuz I’ll continue to add more info on iCarly.
Lincoln Heights – In Lincoln Heights, I play Becky, one of the best friends of Lizzie Sutton, played by my friend (and great actress) Rhyon Nicole Brown. For one of the episodes of this show, I got to learn to Double Dutch! It was so much fun practicing and getting to learn a new skill!

Close to Home – In Close to Home, I play Stacey Johnson, an 11-year old girl who is stuck in the middle of a big, complicated situation with her family. Stacey’s mother had been abducted several years before, but now her mother is found and deep investigations lead the jury to think that Stacey’s mother wasn’t abducted, but she ran off instead. By the way, Sony Studios has the BEST premium angus cheeseburgers in the world!!!

Will and Grace – In Will and Grace, I play Lisa, a girl who is very bored and dull. She is not at all interested in Grace’s ideas of “fun”. This job was such a blast! I got to meet Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullaly, and Sean Hayes. They were all incredibly kind…and hilarious!

Over There – In Over There, I play a young girl who watches Bo (played by Josh Henderson) struggling to run on the track with his new leg. My character is very outward and not afraid to say things that some people might be afraid to say. Because of my character’s personality, Bo is a bit startled.

Zoey 101 – In Zoey 101, I play Trish Kirby. She is a very sly and uncooperative girl who likes Zoey’s (Jamie Lynn Spears) little brother Dustin (Paul Butcher, who I worked with before on Hollywood Homicide, so it was so great to see him again!). For the rest, you’ll have to watch and see! By the way, Jamie Lynn is very pretty and very nice!!!!! I had such a great time on that show!

Judging Amy – In Judging Amy, my character (Amber Ried) was sold by her mother. Then, Tyne Daly’s character (Maxine Grey) rescues Amber and takes her in (something that she had never done before and was never allowed to do). The episode that I was in, “My Name is Amy Gray”, was the last episode of the show, so it was an honor to be in it. I had a blast filming, and Tyne Daly was nicer than you could imagine!

Malcolm in the Middle – In Malcolm in the Middle, I played a very nerdy and hyper girl named Penelope who is in Dewey’s special ed class. It was so great to be back with the people I had met the last time I did Malcolm, but it was also great to meet lots of new people!

The Inside – In The Inside, I play Madison St. Claire, a young girl who kills a little boy because she “wants to see what’s inside”. The cast and crew were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice! I met one of my great friends Emma Nicolas on that show.The director, Allan Kroeker, was awesome! The Inside was one of my favorite jobs, and I’ll never forget what a great experience it was!

Medium – In Medium, I play Sara Crewson, a victim of kidnapping, who has been locked up and kept captive for 2 years. I got to meet Sofia Vassilieva (you probably know her from Eloise), and I’ve loved Eloise since my aunt sent me a doll and book of Eloise when I was 4 years old. I loved the Eloise movies, and I collect Eloise stuff. I was even Eloise in Halloween 2004, after visiting the Plaza so many days while in New York. So meeting Sofia was a real thrill for me, and she is very nice!

Law and Order:SVU – In Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I play Holly Purcell, a victim of non-familial violent child abuse. This has been my favorite job so far! I even got to go to New York to film it! Mariska Hargitay, Christopher Meloni, and Mary Stuart Masterson were absolutely fabulous! They are sooooo nice. The director, Aaron Lipstadt, is wonderful. Peter Leto, the producer, was so nice and so great! Oh my gosh, I could just go on and on and on about each person and how nice they were. I even got to use the big camera that they shoot the show with, which is a dream come true because I really love cameras and learning about all the various shots and such. In fact, I got a mini DV camera this Christmas because I want to practice making movies! ~~~In New York, I got to visit the Empire State Building, which was great, because in Elf (one of my favorite movies) Buddy’s dad Walter works at the Empire State Building. ~~~I also got to visit Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, the Metropolitan art museum, the American Indian museum, the History Museum, American Girl Place, Dhylan’s Candy Shop, Serendipity, Ground Zero (a very sad sight to see), and Toys ‘R’ Us, the biggest toy store in the whole country! And last but most definitely not least, I got to visit The Plaza Hotel, which was also a dream come true, because I LOVE the Plaza!

Strong Medicine – In Strong Medicine, I play Hayley Campos, a 10-year-old girl with a severe case of bipolar disorder who is dangerous to others and to herself. Strong Medicine was a wonderful job. I had a fantastic time filming it! Rosa Blasi and Tamera and Tia Mowry were so beautiful and so nice! I feel honored that I may have helped some people to call the Bipolar Disorder Hotline.

Karen Sisco - In Karen Sisco, I play Josephina (Josie) Boyle. Josie’s mom died when she was a baby, and her dad (played by D.B. Sweeney) was put in jail when she was little, so she lived with her grandmother. Her grandmother soon passed away, and with no one else to live with, Josie started living on the streets, and was being taken care of by a homeless man named Moses, who was the closest thing she had to a parent; then something horrible happens…watch the show to find out. ~~~I got to work with such great people including Carla Gugino, Robert Forrster, and D.B.Sweeney. The cast and crew were like family!!! ~~~I also got to do all of my own stunts, such as: climbing down a very high fire escape, being thrown in the trunk of a car, working on a boat (and it was my very first time riding on a boat. YAY!!). There was a stunt double on set to instruct and take over if necessary, but I really wanted to do it all myself, so I could experience the character in every aspect.

Malcolm in the Middle – In Malcolm in the Middle, I play Daisy Wilkerson (girl Dewey). In this episode, Lois imagines what life would be like with girls…instead of boys. This job was SO fun to film! I met one of my good friends, Lisa Foiles, on this show. The cast and crew were an absolute blast!! I always loved watching the show, so it was really fun to be on it!

CSI – In CSI, I play Jackie Trent, the innocent little sister of the 9 year old girl who murders an old women for a cat. This job was really great to film. I met one of my good friends (Courtney Jines) on this job.

Mad TV - In Mad TV, I play Cassidy Gifford, the daughter of Cathy Lee Gifford.

Those Who Can – Those Who Can was a pilot that I did that didn’t get picked up. I was one of the kids in Jim Brewer’s Class. My name was Brittany L.

Power Rangers – In Power Rangers, I play a girl who gets kidnapped by the evil villians in the episode.

Sesame Street – I “played” myself.

 

Movies 

The Last Day of Summer – In The Last Day of Summer, I play Dory Sorenson, a smart-mouthed 11-year-old girl who likes to pick on Luke, AJ, and Riley (played by Jansen Panettiere, Jon Kent Ethridge, and Eli Vargas). This job was lots of fun! I met lots of great people and made lots of new friends (like Denyse Tontz, who played my best friend). And working for Nickelodeon is SO great, because they give kids a lot of respect and ALWAYS make work fun.

The Sleepover – The Sleepover is a short film by Matthew Piaccentini. In the short, I play Lucy Randall. Bill Murray’s brother, Joel Murray, played my dad in The Sleepover!

Tiger Cruise – In Tiger Cruise I play Kiley Dolan, the sister of Maddie Dolan who is played by Hayden Panettiere. The movie is quite dramatic, as it takes place during 9/11.

The Gleam of Dawn – I play Dawn Wake as a child. In this movie, I make people cry because of the trauma I face. I got to work with some great actors, including: James Haven and Kelly Overton.

Hollywood Homicide – In Hollywood Homicide, I play a little girl who is touring Hollywood, and all of the sudden, her family’s car gets highjacked!! I had great fun with Josh Hartnett. He is SO nice. I also had a lot of fun with Paul Butcher, (the boy who plays my brother). Meeting Harrison Ford…well, that speaks for itself. WOW!!!

Commercials

Sprint PCS –  I play Susie Stevens, a girl who’s free cell phone minutes don’t start until 9, so she talks to her family…while braiding their hair. And she doesn’t just talk normally…she talks REALLY, REALLY, REALLY fast. This job was my favorite commercial to film because I LOVE to make people laugh.

Dominos Pizza

Dinkie Robots

Dental Land

Dental World

Citi Corp.
