She appeared in numerous productions and create, produce, and starred in her own comedy web series.
In 2012, she became the third of her family’s generation to enter public relations, following her father, Larry, and late grandfather, Lee.

According to its website, One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. The campaign, which launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS.
