She’s best known for playing Sunny in Flashdance, a role that really put her on the map. After that breakthrough, she went on to find even more success behind the scenes as a television writer and story editor, showing off her talent both in front of and behind the camera.

Her work on Sons of Anarchy really stood out during those years, showcasing her talent for compelling storytelling. Over the course of three seasons, she helped shape some of the most memorable moments in Sons of Anarchy, earning recognition for her consistent contributions. It’s impressive how she maintained such a strong presence on Sons of Anarchy throughout that period, delivering impactful scripts each time.
