Walcott was raised in Youngstown, Ohio, as one of four children. During her youth, she participated in cheerleading and graduated from Lowellville High School in 1995. Driven by a passion for animals, she initially aimed to pursue a career as a veterinarian. In October 1996, at nineteen years old, she visited Los Angeles, California, and decided to relocate there permanently, balancing two jobs alongside business classes at Santa Monica College.

Her modeling career began in early 2001 after she attended an event at the Playboy Mansion working as a makeup artist. An editor took notice of her, leading to a photoshoot in mid-2001 and her selection as the August 2001 Playmate of the Month. Following her debut, she appeared regularly in Playboy magazine, modeled for a Carmen Electra celebrity guest photoshoot on Playboy.com, and was featured as a member of Playboy's Xtreme Team.

In 2005, she received a key to the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, from the mayor alongside Destiny Davis and Scarlett Keegan for posing in a promotional city calendar.

Walcott expanded into television, appearing on programs such as MTV Cribs, Wild On!, Entertainment Tonight, E! True Hollywood Story, Howard Stern, and Weakest Link. In 2006, she was named a finalist for the WWE Diva Search reality series but withdrew prior to filming due to schedule conflicts. In 2009, she began co-hosting the local Arizona advice show Mom Time.

In her acting career, Walcott appeared in the 2005 feature American Pie: Band Camp and the 2008 film The Pool Boys. She served as the official Postal Babe on the official website for Running with Scissors and made cameo appearances as herself in the video games Postal III and Postal 2: Paradise Lost.
