She has performed stand-up comedy at various clubs throughout New York City, including the Laugh Factory & Caroline’s.

In 2006, she cast in the inspirational feature film Gang Girl, in which she played a 16 year-old Bronx gang member trying to find her way out of gang life. In the film, The Big Wes, she was able to flex her comedic acting abilities by playing two very different roles.
