Long Valley Girl Continues Rising TV Career

Second grader now appears on toy boxes.

Tyler Xing, a second-grade student at Kossmann School, has had her hands full lately, doing much more than learning reading, writing and arithmetic in Long Valley.

Xing, a pianist who has played at Carnegie Hall, also recently appeared in a commercial for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, in addition to being an extra on the NBC sitcom "30 Rock" in December.

This wasn't Xing's first foray into TV, though, as she's been on the children's network Sprout three times since 2010. Xing has also taken to the modeling world, appearing on the Disney Ultimate Fairytale Kitchen packaging, which is sold at Target and Toys 'R' Us. She was also selected to be the live Snow White for official Disney commercials.

In early December, Xing was chosen from hundreds of other children as the winner to be part of Sesame Place's Christmas photo catalog. Xing has also appeared as an Angel and Soldier in her first production of the Nutcracker on Dec. 17 and 18 with the New Jersey Civic Ballet after her debut performance as village child in Coppelia in August of 2011 with the same company.
