Mireille was born September 22, 1975 in Kansas City, Missouri. She studied at High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and pursued bachelor of arts degree in acting at Brigham Young University.

But her most famous current role is Alice Vaugn on The Catch. Mireille is married to Alan Ruck since 2008.
