The first Sonic game she worked on was Sonic Adventure in 1998, where she wrote the theme songs for Amy Rose and Big the Cat and composed many level and Chao racing tracks. In Sonic Adventure 2, she worked on the theme and most of the level songs for Rouge the Bat and Shadow the Hedgehog, as well as other tracks.
