1. I’m a Jersey kid… born in The Big Apple, but raised in Dubai. I hopped on my first flight at the age of 3 weeks to Dubai and that is where I grew up, until the age of 6. Ever since birth, I’ve loved traveling. Japan and Maldives are some of my favorite vacation spots and I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
2. Music is a big part of my life. Since the age of 4, I’ve been drumming, learning classical music on the piano and taking vocal lessons. Recently, I added bass to my one women music band and have been enjoying it all. If you want to know my favorite artist, thank u, next.
3. I’m the biggest Lin Manuel-Miranda fan, which of course means I love Hamilton. He inspired me to learn how to rap and write my own music! I have a few rap parodies that I shared on my social media and I’ve got more original content coming soon.
4. Basically, I’m a tech geek. I’ve been taking coding classes at school and summer programs. P.S. I literally walk around the house with a walkie talkie and drive my parents crazy. Over.
5. Fashion is my middle name. I’m very comfortable with experimenting with all styles of fashion including Indian ethnic wear. I never shy away from shopping. I have Fashion Friday segments on my TikTok and Instagram. I’ve been able to participate in New York Fashion Week the past few years.

The new series coming to Disney+ has now added Bella Higginbotham to the cast in a series regular role, Deadline reports.
Bella will play Lauren, who is 13 years old, and is an eccentric, cosplay-loving girl who dresses in full-on Game of Thrones garb. She claims it doesn’t bother her when people make fun of her for dressing up like Khaleesi the Dragon Queen, but it clearly does.
She’s never played hockey, but joins Evan’s team because she admits she may have an inner rage that really needs an outlet. This anger at being a true outcast does fuel her, and she ends up being by far the toughest kid on the new squad, ready to rain fire down on her opponents.
It was also announced that original The Mighty Ducks star Emilio Estevez will reprise his role of Coach Bombay for the series. The cast rounds out with Swayam Bhatia, Taegen Burns, Julee Cerda, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Maxwell Simkins and De’Jon Watts.
