Macy, she landed her biggest role in December 2006 cast alongside with Steven Seagal in “URBAN JUSTICE”. In late 2007, after a slow year, the writers strike encouraged her take a break and gather her thoughts in Aspen, CO.

Two weeks after “Jordan” wrapped, she was cast in another Steven Seagal film “The Keeper” as the female lead. Even though she is still very inexperienced in the industry and has many more lessons to learn and many more disappointments to face, the excitement of following her dream and receiving even these few opportunities as gifts is motivation enough to keep going.
