In 2005, Herrera was cast as Dana Cruz in Zoey 101, Zoey (Jamie Lynn Spears) and Nicole's (Alexa Nikolas) roommate. After the first season, Herrera was unceremoniously let go from working on Zoey 101 because the producers thought she looked too old and was replaced by Victoria Justice. Her character was originally planned to end up as Logan's girlfriend, but was replaced by Quinn Pensky. She also co-starred in feature film Freedom Writers opposite Hilary Swank. In 2008, Herrera had quit acting. Her last acting role was on the soap opera General Hospital. On July 15, 2016 Herrera announced via Instagram that she is engaged.
