IB student on new Nickelodeon show

The day seemed to stretch on endlessly as the casting director pulled one person at a time into the audition room.
Plano East sophomore Mohana Krishan entered the room filled with producers and directors and three other actors she had never met. As Mohana stood on the brink of achieving one of her biggest goals, she let go of her nerves and played the scene to the best of her ability.
