After an injury, she quit tennis and pursued an acting career, starting with parts in commercials for Nike and Gatorade.[1]

Prior to South of Nowhere, she was a regular on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, where from 1995 to 2005 she played Megan Conley. She returned for a three-week guest-starring role on the show in March 2006, while on hiatus from South of Nowhere. One of her more notable roles was that of Rhonda in the 2002 movie Ken Park, a controversial film in which she received oral sex from the boyfriend of her character's daughter. She also starred in the unsuccessful comedy Totally Blonde in 2001, and in 2007, the popular web series Girltrash!

She starred in the 2009 movie Not Easily Broken with Morris Chestnut and Taraji P. Henson. She co-created, co-produced, and starred in 3 Way, a web series about roommates, which featured lesbian characters, with Jill Bennett, Maile Flanagan, and Cathy Shim.
