[5] In 1998, Collins played an anchorwoman in Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms and Donna Jean in When Husbands Cheat.

Earlier in her career, she was a morning radio personality on Toronto's Mix 99.9 from 1992 to 1994, co-hosting with Tom Rivers along with Larry Fedoruk.

For the latter stint, following a short period co-hosting with Steve Anthony who then moved to afternoon drive time, Collins became the first woman in Canada to be billed as the sole regular host of a morning radio show on a commercial station in a major media market, as opposed to co-hosting with one or more men.

She also appeared in: Deep in the City as a Sex-Shop Owner (2000), The Caveman's Valentine (2001), Degrassi: The Next Generation as herself (2002), two episodes of Doc as Felicia Brand (2002–2003), Recipe for Murder as a Glam Reporter (2002), Tracker as Dr. Janet Sullivann (2002), and Show Me Yours as Tammy (2005).

[5] Collins was a writer, star and host of Chez Carla (2000), Sonic Temple (2001), 2 Smart Blondes (2003) and E-Now (1995).

[14] During that time, she performed some "Quarantine Queen" comedy programs on Facebook[15] and began streaming "Comedic Meditation" from Los Angeles, at no charge to the public; she also offered private sessions.

By autumn 2020 some venues were open and she performed at the El Mocambo in Toronto and began streaming her Meditation program in Canada, again free of charge.
