A graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, she then went on to study costumes and wigs at The Juilliard School, and began acting as an understudy on John Leguiazamo's Off-Broadway show Mambo Mouth. From there, Cheralyn continued to pursue work in the television and film industry, and her professional credits include the television series Dinosaurs! as well as such feature films as The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Patriot, The New World, Evan Almighty, and Leatherheads. She also spent several years with Paramount Production Services, creating Star Trek props and costumes for such interactive attractions as Paramount Parks, The Star Trek Earth Tour, and Star Trek: The Experience, as well as for other Paramount properties such as Titanic: The Movie on Tour. In addition to her behind-the-scenes work, Cheralyn continues to pursue acting, and has worked in various television commercials along with the films The Patriot, Leatherheads, and most recently Blood Done Sign My Name. Television-wise, she has worked with One Tree Hill, and also appeared as a principal character in The History Channel's Isaac's Storm. Currently Cheralyn lives and works in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has been gaining experience as an active paranormal researcher and author.
