Born in New York City,[1] Negrin now resides in Weston, Connecticut, with her family. A performer since an early age, her professional career began in 2010 when she appeared in a national television commercial for Verizon. In 2013, she was picked from hundreds of girls to star in the lead role as Peg in Peg + Cat.[2] Series creators Billy Aronson and Jennifer Oxley both stated that Negrin "sounded like a real kid, not too polished or over-rehearsed" and won the role "with her quirky voice and raw talent".[3]

In 2014, Negrin won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for her work on Peg + Cat.[4] She was the second youngest person to be nominated for that category, the youngest person to be nominated for that category was Danica Lee in 2007 and 2008.[5]
