She turned heads as a series regular on MTV's breakout hit MARY + JANE (2016), executive produced by Snoop Dogg. The Hollywood Reporter called her performance "committed with gusto," Vogue declared her "brazen, brass," and the Los Angeles Times praised the show's "sharp satirical observations about stoner culture, celebrity, the

Silver Lake lifestyle, and female friendships."
