She's also worked with the likes of Wim Wenders, Mark Sikes, Victor Nelli Jr., and Lake Bell. Favorite credits include the lead role in US-Canadian feature 'Killer Punjabi,' horror series 'The Girl in the Woods,' - in which she plays Kal Penn's courageous wife, and the lead role in 'All for Love,' a family comedy that explored the fun and the complex dynamics of interracial relationships.
