Early life and education
Buckingham was born and raised in Beverly Hills, California, to Jane (née Rinzler) and Marcus Buckingham.[2] She has an older brother Jack. Buckingham graduated from Laurel Springs School and graduated from Boston University in 2025, after studying screenwriting and film production.[3][4]
Career
Buckingham began acting in local musical theatre productions at a young age.[5][6] She competitively danced with the MNR Dance Factory, where she met and befriended Mackenzie and Maddie Ziegler and began to grow her online platform.[7][8] Together with her older brother Jack, they co-founded anti-cyberbullying organization Positively Social.[9]
Buckingham made her television debut in 2012 with a minor role in an episode of Modern Family. She began working with Brat in 2018, starring as Autumn Miller on the web series Dirt.[10] The character has also made appearances in other series such as Chicken Girls, Total Eclipse and Zoe Valentine, as well as the 2019 Brat film Spring Breakaway.[11][12] She also made several appearances on the network's talk show, Brat Chat.
In November 2018, Buckingham and Emily Skinner released a single, "Denim Jacket", and donated a portion of the proceeds to GLAAD.[13]
Buckingham voices Heather Masterson, the epistolary narrator of Brat series Crown Lake, which she co-produces with Sara Shepard.[14] Her other filmmaking work includes directing and producing a music video for Jillian Shea Spaeder's 2019 single "Something Better", which received accolades at a number of film festivals.[15] She and Spaeder, her then-girlfriend, wrote and starred in the short film Pink.
Buckingham and Shepard went on to co-author a young adult novel, Influence, about the world of social media influencers.[16]
In 2022, Buckingham starred in Meet Cute's series, A Pool For Love.[17] That same year, she appeared as Cassie Traske in Hocus Pocus 2, a sequel to the 1993 film Hocus Pocus.[18]
