Bock recently gained attention for her role in "Severance," which examines how a medical procedure separates work and personal lives. She shared that being recognized by fans has been surprising and a bit overwhelming. Bock works hard to stay on top of her studies while navigating her acting career, especially when she needs to travel for filming or promotions. She decided to attend Northwestern based on advice from her co-star Britt Lower, who is also an alum. Bock is passionate about psychology and believes it will help her as an actress.

While Bock appreciates the support from fans, she avoids reading fan theories online. She finds it entertaining to see edits of her character on social media. Recently, she expressed excitement about the upcoming season finale, stating that it left her eager to learn what happens next in the story.
