Originally auditioned for Kim Director's role in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000). She went to the audition with short blonde hair and as director Joe Berlinger described "completely Gothed-out", but ultimately was given the supporting role of "Erica".

There's a scene in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) in which Erica's character (a practicing witch) is chanting an actual witchcraft chant, which was given to her by director Joe Berlinger, who learned it from his friend (an actual witch).

Later Berlinger told his friend what happened to Erica and she informed him that Erica was calling up the 'god of the underworld' in that chant.
