She was in front of the camera at 18 months old

Biggs told Entertainment Tonight that her career in the spotlight began at 18 months old when she was cast in a photoshoot for the Kardashian's kids clothing line. At age three, she walked for Sherri Hill during New York Fashion Week.

From there, Biggs noted that she was on a roll but then the pandemic hit, which caused her to pivot. She then turned to TikTok where she would begin uploading fashion-focused content of celebrity looks.

Biggs would create videos where she'd review stars' looks on red carpets at the Oscars and Grammys, for example. Then, she got a call to be the "official backstage host for New York Fashion Week," which launched her reporting career journey in person.

She's a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan

She made her acting debut in a Hallmark movie

Biggs grew close with the Kansas City team after appearing in Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, where she made her acting debut. Though only a brief cameo, the newcomer told PEOPLE it was a "really cool opportunity" for her.
