===Early career===
 
After graduation, Day moved to [[Los Angeles]] to pursue a career in acting. She landed several roles in various short and independent films, as well as commercials and guest spots on television shows, including ''[[Undeclared]]'' and ''[[Maybe It's Me (TV series)|Maybe It's Me]]''. These parts propelled her to larger roles: a part in the film ''[[Bring It On Again]]'', the starring role in ''June'', and a recurring guest spot as [[Slayer (Buffyverse)|potential Slayer]] Vi on television's ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', a recurring role that is still occasionally utilized in that show's eighth season comic book series.
