She graduated from Huntsville High School, and attended Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas, from 1995-97 after auditioning and being selected for the Kilgore College Rangerettes dance team. After Kilgore, Cummings attended the University of North Texas, graduating with a degree in Journalism. She also studied Shakespeare at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.[1][2] She has had minor roles in TV shows such as Charmed, Passions and Star Trek: Enterprise.[3] She appeared alongside America Olivo and Julia Voth in the action film Bitch Slap.[4][5]

gollark: Maybe make it so you get taxed some % of a patent's value each year. You might say "hmm but how do we calculate value". Simple! Make it so that you *specify* the value, and anyone who is willing to pay that much can buy it off you/pay for it to enter the public domain for that much.
gollark: > wouldnt that deter using patents?that is the point.
gollark: Or you could just have a tax of some kind on patents.
gollark: No, I mean use them to... produce useful things?
gollark: There needs to be a better incentive to actually *use* patents, I think.
