She settled in Dallas, Texas and graduated from Weatherford High School in 2002.[6] While studying at the University of North Texas, she was influenced by the anime series Dragon Ball Z.[1] After graduating from UNT with a Bachelor of Arts in music in 2006,[3][8] she began her career as a voice actress for Funimation.[1] She was also a director, but eventually focused more on the acting side of the productions.[2]

In her live-action work, she was the host of GameStop TV and has appeared in independent films, such as The Ladies of the House and Lumberjack Man. In 2014, she had a starring role as Roman's younger sister Sophia in The CW's science fiction romantic drama Star-Crossed.[9][10][11] In 2017, she was credited with performing a parody version of Sarah McLachlan's "In the Arms of An Angel", titled "On the Wings of a Battmann," in a Cyanide & Happiness short of the same name.[12]
