Quick bio
The young actor was born on the 22nd of December, 1998 in the town of Boston, Massachusetts. Her parents, Paul and Kathy Hannelius relocated to Falmouth, Maine where they settled through her childhood. This was a good decision since it is in Maine that her love for acting started. She would practice in the Children’s Theatre of Maine and before long she was in a number of plays including ‘Rescue in the summer ‘. In 2008, she travelled to Los Angeles where she spent three months auditioning for roles.
Her auditions were a success so her parents, in a bid to promote her talents to Hollywood, decided to relocate to Los Angeles. In addition, her father sharpened her skills by training her at Young Actors Studio. This finally bore fruits in 2009 when she was selected for her first acting job in a commercial for Aquarium of the Pacific. This became the very first step in her acting journey.
She landed a role in the sitcom Surviving Suburbia starring Bob Saget. Her rise to fame came when Disney saw her ‘Aquarium of the Pacific’ advertisement and gave her a role in the TV series; Sonny with a Chance, Hannah Montana and Good luck Charlie. She also played a role in Disney original movies like Den Brother, Spooky Buddies, Treasure Buddies and Super Buddies. Her best and most famous role however, is the role of Avery Jennings on the Disney series, ‘Dog with a Bone’. In 2014, she premiered in the TV show, Jessie and was later voiced Lady Joy in the series ‘Sofia the First’.
