Denice has performed on many nationally televised commercials such as the Fruit of the Loom campaign where she was the girl bopping about her bedroom trying to figure out what to wear and then finally flopping on a chair in nothing but her Fruit of the Loom underwear.
Denice has worked in a variety of films and has starred in such low-budget films as Bloodfist V: Human Target, Hell Comes to Frogtown II and Phoenix. She stars in Full Moon Entertainment's Subspecies series, in parts II, III, and IV.
