As a teenager, Look honed her acting skills by voice-dubbing local Mandarin television episodes into English for SBC and performing on stage with various companies. At 18, she received an arts scholarship to USC School of Film & Television and USC School of Theater for acting.

Her sophomore year saw her land the lead role in the stage show "The Woman Warrior", which earned her critical acclaim and full houses at the Berkeley Repertory Theater and The Huntington Theatre. Look's academic pursuits were temporarily stalled as she optioned her first feature film script to The Samuel Goldwyn Company and wrote a freelance episode for "The Sentinel".

After graduating from college, Look continued to work as an actress and writer in Hollywood, optioning her scripts and creating content for various platforms. Her upcoming projects include Steven Soderberg's "The Laundromat" and Paul Kowalski's "Paper Tiger".
