Two years of hard work paid off and Cissy landed an agent. Her first role she landed was Katjaa from TellTale's The Walking Dead, along with several other female characters, and this opportunity was enough to light her fire and make her want to make the move to LA to really give this a shot. Cissy made the move, certain that she was on fire, and upon landing in LA that fire turned to crickets. A year passed with no work. She kept auditioning but the lack of work made her more and more desperate, until her agent told her that he could smell the desperation in her slate, and that nobody hires desperation. It was, as she puts it, a dark night of the soul, and the way through was not another audition but a rebuilding of herself through meditation, exercise, finding a community, and the slow, hard work of no longer tying her worth to her bookings. The fog eventually lifted and gigs started to appear such as the voice of Ralphs and a Charlize Theron voice match, but the work that truly defined her career came out of video games. Over the years, her instinct to play everything grounded, paired with a timbre that naturally lends itself to women in command, made her a fit for leaders like Commander Sloane in Destiny and Fury in Darksiders 3, but the watershed role was Delilah in Firewatch. Delilah was a faceless character the player had to weigh entirely on personality and conversation rather than how she looked. Cissy's performance won multiple awards and even a BAFTA. Roles such as these crystallized exactly the sweet spot Cissy had been searching for: strong characters carrying a thread of vulnerability, exploring the gray space between the damsel and the badass. As Cissy continues to grow her roster of inrcredible VO charactes, she has also discovered Performance Capture, where she finally gets to walk into a scene and react to other actors in real time. A new medium and a new muscle she is also hungry to keep building.

Nowadays, Cissy continues to play remarkable roles, but she has discovered a new pursuit in preserving and protecting people against abusive AI practices. In 2021 she found her own voice scraped from a children's show, uploaded to AI platforms without her consent, and sold back to strangers who made it say things she never said. When she asked for the website to take it down, she was told flatly that no federal protection exists for a person's voice, hers or anyone else's. So she has decided to change that. Cissy is part of the National Association of Voice Actors, where she now sits on the advisory board. In this position, Cissy has flown to Washington several times with her team at Nava and together have sat with more than a hundred members of Congress, along with the FTC and the Copyright Office, to help craft the "No Fakes Act". A bipartisan federal bill that would finally make it illegal to steal a person's voice, name, image, or likeness for not just actors, but any American citizen. She recognizes this is everyone's problem and not just an actor's: the grandmother who gets a scam call in a grandchild's voice, the parent whose child is screaming on the other end of the line seemingly in danger, or someone's voice approving purchases they know nothing about. Cissy took a leap of faith at a time she thought she was to late for, but nevertheless her leap of faith has grown into a career of roles she couldn't have dreamed and she is now helping shape the future of the industry to ensure that others will still have the opportunity to follow their dreams too.
