She has also acted in numerous other direct-to-DVD movies, and has made guest appearances in various TV shows, most notably Friends.
In 2009, she landed the role Chloe Kmetko, mother of a young gymnast, on the ABC Family drama series Make It or Break It. She was part of the main cast during the show’s first two seasons.
