Major Works

The quantum of her major works as a voice artist exceeds that as an actress. Still, as a child actor she has starred in major movie franchises like ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ series, and ‘The Santa Clause’ series.
As a voice actor however, is where she has really made her mark right from her childhood, lending her voice to leading characters in original and dubbed television series and films. Most of her recent major works are in fact as a voice artist rather than as an actress.
