Goodson was a friend and colleague of Jonathan Tzachor, who recommended her the audition for Rita.

Goodson has also worked with Power Rangers actors in non-Power Rangers works: She provided additional uncredited voices for the 2001 English dub of the 1988 classic anime film Akira, which featured Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam Park) as the voice of Kaneda (Goodson also played the voices of Takashi/No. 25 and Kaori in the original 1988 English dubbed version of Akira). Goodson also voices the Laharl in the Disgaea series (in which Bosch played Almaz in the third game), which features a Super Sentai parody known as the Prism Rangers.
