Her first year in LA, she landed the role of "Emma Hastings" in Echo (2014). She is also known for her role as "Caroline Hall" in American wives (2007).

When a young Norwegian woman is found murdered in Sydney, detective Harry Hole is sent halfway around the world to assist Australian police on a case that feels both distant and uncomfortably personal. Out of his element and battling his own shadows, Harry follows a trail through nightclubs, back alleys, and the bright, deceptive calm of coastal suburbs. Each lead pulls him deeper into a city where everyone seems to be performing a role. Witnesses with selective memories. Friends with motives. Strangers who know more than they admit. As the investigation tightens, Harry begins to see a pattern. The killer is patient. The crimes are controlled. And the next move is already in motion. To stop what’s coming, Harry must decode the logic behind the violence and confront the part of himself that recognizes it. Because in Sydney, the danger is not hiding in the dark. It is watching from above.
