She began her career in show business, and set out on her own when she was just 17-years-old to chase her dream. She landed her first role two weeks after she found an agent, and the following year she was already booked to play Chelsea Benson on Days of Our Lives.
She stayed with Days of Our Lives for a year before moving on to South of Nowhere, as well as making a guest appearance on the popular sitcom The King of Queens. She has also appeared on CSI, in a webseries called Girltrash!, and in the film “16 to Life.” Girltrash! was eventually turned into a musical film called “Girltrash: All Night Long,” where Musgrave appeared opposite of her South of Nowhere co-star Gabrielle Christian.
