When she was 17, she substituted for a friend at a meeting with a scouting agency and she met her manager, Randy James, who sent her some scripts. After graduation, a year and a half later, she moved to [3] Los Angeles to pursue acting.

Career Her career was launched in 2003, when she was cast in the leading role of Hanna Thompson in the low budget award-winning filmThe Other Side. According to the movie's commentary, she was originally at the audition to help out by reading against the male actors, but the director Gregg Bishop decided to cast her in the leading role after [4] hearing her perform the lines.
