"'I'm proving everyone wrong': Actors with Down syndrome enjoying new era of media representation"
CBC News, February 19, 2022. She is most noted for her 2022 CBC Gem talk show ''Who Do You Think I Am?'', for which she received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Host in a Talk Show or Entertainment Series at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, and as a star of the 2023 film '' Champions''.

Tevlin, who has Down syndrome, first attracted widespread attention in 2015 when a video of her singing John Legend's " All of Me" went viral on the internet, even attracting attention from Legend himself. She subsequently had guest acting roles in the television series '' Mr. D'' and '' Lost & Found Music Studios''.

She has stated that one of her key goals is to challenge misunderstandings, by presenting her own story as a person who still has passions, talents and goals to pursue, and is capable of much more than people typically expect of her based on her disability.Jen McNeely
