Mini bio
How it started.
Miranda grew up in Los Angeles and began auditioning for commercials at three after an agent approached her parents. School of Rock gave her an early film role as Summer Hathaway. She then became familiar to Nickelodeon viewers as the mischievous Megan Parker in Drake & Josh.
Carly and the music.
Starring as Carly Shay in iCarly made Miranda a familiar face to a generation of fans. Her recording career grew alongside the show: she sang its theme, released Sparks Fly in 2010 and followed it with the High Maintenance EP in 2011. Sparks Fly reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
Growing with her work.
She returned as Carly for the 2021–2023 revival and also executive produced it. Her other recurring work includes voicing Margo in Despicable Me and hosting and executive producing Mission Unstoppable, which spotlights women in STEM. In 2025, she led the Netflix romantic comedy The Wrong Paris.
