She’s best known as the uproariously funny Mimi Bobeck on The Drew Carey Show—a role that really put her on the map. Her standout performance as the eccentric, fashion-forward character made her a household name, and fans still talk about her comedic timing and bold style. Over the years, she’s continued to build an impressive resume, including a recurring role on ABC Family’s popular series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, where she brought depth and humor to every scene she was in.
Before all the spotlight and standing ovations, though, she was just getting started back home. She grew up in Stevens Point, WI—a place that shaped her early life and values. It was there that she spent her formative years, soaking in experiences that would later influence her art. She even attended the University of Wisconsin in Stevens Point, where she began honing her talents before making the bold move to New York City to chase her dreams. That leap of faith paid off, and now, she’s celebrated not just as a talented actress but also as a gifted stand-up comic who knows how to command a stage.
From her roots in Wisconsin to her breakout success on national television, her journey has been anything but ordinary. And through it all, she’s stayed true to herself—funny, fearless, and full of heart. Whether she’s making audiences laugh with her sharp wit or surprising them with her range on screen, she continues to leave a lasting impression.
Back in 2008, she came up with the idea for MrsP.com, a fun and engaging website she co-created that offered entertaining content especially designed for kids. It was definitely one of her standout projects, showcasing her creativity and passion for children’s media. Then, in 2009, she stepped into the world of animated entertainment by voicing Rhonda the Walrus in The Penguins of Madagascar—a role that added even more depth to her diverse career. She really made a mark during that time, balancing digital innovation with voice acting talent.
