Early life

She made her television debut as a series regular on the Nickelodeon series Just for Kicks in 2006 and in 2012, she became The Daily Show's youngest correspondent ever.

Williams also made appearances on Season 3 of HBO's Girls. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York and Los Angeles, California. She appears in the film People Places Things.
