Mazur began modeling and acting in her teens.

She has appeared in a number of widely released films in the past several years, including Torque, Dead Man Running, Monster-in-Law, Stoned and Just Married. She has also appeared in several television shows, including Castle, CSI: Miami, Cold Case, Strange World, Chuck, and Rizzoli & Isles.
Early in the first (2009) season of the television series NCIS: Los Angeles, Mazur appeared in a single episode as a Secret Serviceagent who is enamored with Chris O'Donnell's lead character. While the role was to potentially be recurring, Mazur’s character did not reappear on the series.[7] She appeared in three episodes, over 2009 and 2010, of Castle as Gina, the publisher and ex-wife of character Richard Castle.
