In early 2018, Cepero responded to an audition call for Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story, and would eventually secure the role of Provi in the film later in the year following several callbacks.[5][6] She was officially announced for the cast in April 2019.[7] Following her appearance in the film, Cepero would appear in guest roles in television series such as Pose, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Blue Bloods.[8] In 2022, she starred in the film Simchas and Sorrows.[9] and in the HBO Max holiday comedy film Holiday Harmony alongside Jeremy Sumpter and Brooke Shields.[10] She would appear in the Apple TV+ series Extrapolations in 2023,[11] as well as in a recurring guest role in the procedural drama 9-1-1.
