Career

Her first exclusive contract was with Vivid Entertainment (during which time she worked solo and also made a series of Blondage films with Lindemulder).

She was again under contract to Wicked Pictures in 2006, but in May 2007 she posted on the members section of her website that she had not renewed her contract with Wicked.

She has worked as a make-up artist.

As of February 2014, she is ranked as the #27 most popular porn performer on the website Freeones.com, down from an all-time high of #8.

She has referred to fellow pornographic actress Christy Canyon as one of her "idols" in the business.
