Philips was born in Miami Beach, Florida, to an Italian father and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother.[3] She attended the University of Pennsylvania but dropped out halfway through her senior year, in order to pursue acting. However, they allowed her to walk through graduation with the rest of her graduating class since she was only one class shy.[4]
On television, Philips primarily appeared in bit parts on single episodes of television series, as well as roles in made-for-TV movies. She did appear in recurring roles for one season each of Ally McBeal, Boston Public and Hawaii.
Philips landed her first supporting role in the 1995 TV movie Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare.[5] In 1996, Philips had a small role in the TV movie Unforgivable as Tammy, the daughter of an abusive father. In 1997, Philips played her first lead role in the TV movie Born Into Exile as Holly, a 14-year-old runaway.
In 2001, Philips was cast as a lead in the 2001 horror film Jeepers Creepers. In 2003, Philips was originally going to appear again as Trish Jenner in Jeepers Creepers 2, as the plot was about her character and Patricia Belcher's character hunting down The Creeper, but the plot changed considerably during script rewrites, with Philips turning down what had become a minor role.[6] Her next film was the American comedy drama The Anarchist Cookbook, which received mostly negative reviews.[7][8]
In 2004, she starred in the low budget horror films Dead & Breakfast and Jennifer's Shadow. In 2006, Philips again played a lead in a low-budget horror film, Ring Around the Rosie as a young woman plagued by horrible visions and dreams of tragic past events. The next year she starred in the horror film The Sickhouse and the TV movie My Baby Is Missing (a.k.a. Stolen Innocence).[9]
In 2011, she began work on the Canadian psychological thriller Chained.[10][11]
She reprised her Trish Jenner role, in a brief cameo, in Jeepers Creepers 3.[12]
