The role is a longtime dream of the Bravo reality star.
She attended Flagler College in Florida, where she studied musical theater.
After college, she moved to New York City to try to launch a career on Broadway and found herself doing sketch comedy for a number of outlets, including College Humor, MTV and ESPN.
She eventually moved to Los Angeles where she got a job as a bartender at one of Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca, which led to her casting on Vanderpump Rules.
