You may know Courtney from her part as Pam, the teenage daughter of Melissa Peterman on CMT's Working Class. Or possibly as Jenna Werner, Alan Tudyk's, daughter on ABC's Suburgatory.

Courtney has also appeared in ABC's "The Forgotten" and had starring roles in several indie films and plays the series regular of Lil' P on the Comedy Central series Video Game Reunion

Courtney was born in New York City and moved to Jupiter, Florida, at the age of one and a half. At the age of 4, Courtney performed on stage for the first time as the Dormouse in "Through the Looking Glass." Over the next 9 years, she pursued acting on local stages in Florida and did several print and runway jobs.

At the age of 13, Courtney moved back to NYC with her mother and sister to further pursue her acting career. Courtney landed one of her first auditions for a play that appeared in the American Living Room Festival in NYC. Courtney performed in numerous stage productions and over 20 student and indie films. Courtney starred in the independent film Late Bloomer which was accepted into the Sundance Film Festival.

In 2007, Courtney was convinced by industry executives to make the move to Los Angeles. Shortly after arriving Courtney had her first audition for the role of Betty in "The Crucible" at The Matrix Theatre in West Hollywood. Courtney landed the part and from there she went on to perform in several other plays including the role of Clarisse in "Fahrenheit 451" at Ray Bradbury's Pandemonium Theatre.

Her big break came though when she submitted herself on a casting website for the series regular role of Pam on CMT's Working Class. Though she did not have any representation at the time she was called in and within a week booked the role.

Since Working Class has ended she has gone on to do several commercials and now has a recurring on ABC's Suburgatory.
