Teen Hits

Her first major role was as the outgoing Six Lemeure on the hit teen show Blossom. She remained with the show from 1990 to 1996 until the series was shelved due to failing ratings. Shortly after leaving Blossom, she enrolled in the University of Southern California. She became a member of Kappa Alpha Theta for approximately two years. She eventually decided that college and sorority life was not all it was made up to be so she dropped out and began looking for roles and possible auditions. Her years as playing the saucy sidekick to Blossom's laid back character showed her versatility and eventually got her a few additional roles, even though they were small, bit parts.

She distributed the CD to music agencies in the hopes of launching a country music career. On September 18, 2007, the album Breathing Room was released. Although none of the singles were hits, the CD was somewhat of a success. She spends her time between Connecticut, Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles.
