She acted in ''Love's Long Journey'', ''Love's Abiding Joy'', ''Love's Unending Legacy'', ''Love's Unfolding Dream'', and ''Love Takes Wing''. She acted with Logan Bartholomew in ''Love's Long Journey'' and ''Love's Abiding Joy''. In all of the films, she portrays the adult Missie Davis-LaHaye-Tyler except in the second film of the series.
Cottrell had a major role in an episode of ''Cold Case'' season five, episode 11, where she plays an art teacher in one of America's internment camps for people of Japanese ancestry during World War II. Her character plays a small part in the destruction of a Japanese family, as she is seen kissing a married man, but he tells her that his wife is the only one he loves, and he goes on to be killed. The episode is based on finding this man's real killer.
She has also had a role on ''NCIS'' Season 9, episode 11, playing a United States Marine lieutenant who is pregnant with the child of a deceased Afghan man (who is the leader of a prominent tribe). She delivers her baby with Leroy Jethro Gibbs at her side during a shootout with the men hired by her baby's father's family to kidnap the baby at a gas station in the middle of a Christmas Eve snowstorm.
She also voiced Delilah Copperspoon <!-- in the DLC --> for the video game ''Dishonored'', specifically ''Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall'' and ''Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches''. She reprised her role in the sequel ''Dishonored 2''.
