Early life

She graduated from Miami Country Day School in 2015 and moved to Los Angeles, California. She has admitted that she had a difficult time making friends in high school, so it would be "would be cruel to make them laugh." She has also admitted that she was mocked at high school. "I'm not like the cool girls" she said, "I'm the other one." The one that is essentially a geek but proud of it."

Career
Pons began her career on the video platform Vine. She has said she used Vine to showcase the creative things she was already doing. Speaking to Teen Vogue, Pons said, "I started with my friends, and I started becoming bad. At first it was just being really creative - it wasn't even funny stuff." Her follower base continued to grow and Pons has said that it "got to the point where a lot of people depended on me to make them... just so they could get a laugh." She became the first "Viner" to reach one billion loops.
Writing in The Cut, Allie Jones described Pons' comedy as "universal, physical, and complete with a twist ending". Pons' comedic style has also been criticised. For instance, former Viner, Cody Ko, critically viewed one her sketches, saying, "This was written by a four-year-old." Pons cites, among her inspirations, several Latin American female stars such as Sofía Vergara, Gaby Espino, and Shakira. In 2016, she was signed with entertainment company Shots Studios.
Pons is managed by John Shahidi of Shots Studios.

Pons starred as Callie in the 2016 romantic comedy We Love You, released on YouTube Red.
