She voiced the title character Ginger Foutley in the animated cartoon As Told by Ginger. She is also known for her role as Elora the Faun in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Courtney Gears (a parody of both Courtney Love and Britney Spears) in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.
She appeared as the character Melinda Chisney in Lake Bell's directorial debut[4] In a World..., a movie about voice artists.[5]
