In 1997, at the age of 12, she was invited to, and sang songs at the White House. During the same year she made her first appearances on television.  She appeared on an episode of 7th Heaven and did a voice-over on the Smart Guy.  Since then she has appeared on over a dozen other television series, including a 2000 episode of Boston Public in which she was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Drama Series - Guest Starring Young Actress.
