Acting/Directing/Producing
Holbrook's first appearance on the screen was in a small role, as a villainous NBA scout, in the 2000 indie film BackBone. She was cast by Award Winning and Emmy Nominated Producer Loren Reed after his seeing her work in an acting workshop taught by writer/director Raffel Smith. Shortly after her first film, she was cast in Reed's 2002 prison-set directorial feature debut, All Heart and Soul, in which she worked alongside actress Jenn Gotzon, as a prisoner named Meline that had gone astray, but found meaning in her music.

While Holbrook loved acting, she didn't necessarily care about fame. For sheer enjoyment, she decided to study camera movement and set direction by placing herself as a background actress. She joined with Central Casting, a division of Entertainment Partners, Inc. and found herself in numerous television shows, such as: Bernie Mac, Power Rangers, Providence, First Monday, Ally McBeal, Becker, Family Law, The Court, The X-Files, Judging Amy and Strong Medicine. To add to her repertoire, she also took classes studying voiceover technique.

With a firm grasp of acting and direction, she decided to lend her abilities to creating exciting video promos for the three-day women's retreats that she likewise produced for her church community. Beginning in 2010, she managed to add another ball to her juggling act and put together a larger scaled annual GIRLS NIGHT OUT event for women ages 13 and up. This extravagant affair transforms an entire campus into a scene straight out of a Disney story, complete with: themed appetizers, music, acting, choreographed numbers and special guest speakers. Due to its enormous popularity, it has continued to grow to the point of sold out crowds every year.

Amongst all of her other talents, Holbrook also displays a knack for comedy as showcased in this 2012 Christmas Eve skit, worthy of Saturday Night Live.

Worship Leading
Holbrook has been leading worship at High Desert Church since 2003 and before that, lent her voice to Crossroads Grace Community Church in Manteca, California. She traveled with a Christian rock band she herself created and wrote music for, named In Touch; a band that was made for the sole purpose of reaching out to the teenaged audience. Concurrently, she traveled with a southern gospel band by the name of Glorybound.
