Deanna’s career has its roots in modeling – her formal training having started at Cassandra Carrigan's Model Centre in Ocala when she was 12 years old. After six weeks at the school, Cassandra jumped at the chance to become Deanna’s manager and – over the next three years – helped her secure auditions with companies such as Quincy’s, Walt Disney, Euro Disney and Sea World.
Deanna’s modeling career took off in the summer of 1997 when Flash of Milan, an Italian modeling agency, was granted permission to represent her in Europe. She spent eight weeks in Italy modeling for teen magazines and catalogues, including a campaign for Wella, an international hair product company.
In October 1998, Sheffield-Bloom – a television, commercial and film agency based in Miami – asked Deanna to audition for an acting role, though her background was in modeling. The experience resulted in a desire to pursue acting as a full-time career.
During the 1999 pilot season, Deanna continued her training, traveling to Miami regularly to tape auditions that were sent to Los Angeles by her agent. One of those tapes resulted in a screen test that landed her the role of "Pennie" in the television pilot, Manchester Prep. The show was picked up, dropped, and later turned into the movie, Cruel Intentions 2. In June 1999, Deanna began taking formal acting classes at the Acting Studio in Hollywood, Florida, and in August 2000 landed her role on Passions.
Deanna began studying at a private studio under the tutelage of Warner Loughlin in 2002, where she continues to study in the Master's Class while continuing her career as a professional actress.
