An Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre alumna and teacher, she is best known for playing Sue Laroche-Van der Hout on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock.

Career
In 2002, Galloway enrolled in the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City as a sketch comedy student. While there, fellow UCB comedian, Anthony Atamanuik, submitted Galloway's name to NBC producers looking to hire a female extra for the upcoming television series 30 Rock. She was originally hired to play "Girl Writer": a staff writer with no lines and occasional reaction shots. By season three, Galloway's role was developed into a scene-stealing, "French-Dutch" character named Sue LaRoche-Van der Hout.
Galloway has performed in live theater, television commercials, and film. She created and performed in a one-woman show called POSE Magazine and has produced and starred in various web series and shorts with fellow actress and comedian Pam Murphy. Galloway was a freelance writer for Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.
Galloway currently performs weekly with the UCB improvisational sketch comedy group The Law Firm. "This is what I was born to do," said Galloway.
