She is best known as the original voice of Claire Redfield in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series. She started out as a child actress; she appeared in the ''Series/SesameStreet'' movie ''Follow That Bird'' and was a regular on ''Series/MrDressup'', and she also played the voice of a young girl in the second ''Franchise/CareBears'' movie. She continued to lend her voice to several animated series, including Lydia in ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' and Jubilee in the '90s ''[[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries X-Men: The Animated Series]]'' animated series. In front of the camera, she's best known as Loonette the Clown in the kids' series ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'', and she still does appearances as the character for various children's charities. She also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG6KKnc1lKs reprised her role]] as Loonette on a 2016 episode of ''Series/ThisHourHas22Minutes'' to talk about the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightings worldwide clown sightings]]. Her talent for voice acting has also earned her a spot as the voice director for shows like ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBusRidesAgain'', ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersBotBots''. Plus casting for the English audio track of ''Anime/ScottPilgrimTakesOff''.
