Her first credited television role was as Simone in the Step by Step in 1998, marking her entry into scripted TV work. This was followed by voice acting as various characters on starting in 2002, guest spots on as Maxine in 2003, and as Blanche Whitefish in 2003, roles that allowed her to experiment with dry humor and supporting comedic parts.
