Reality television
In 2011, Cooke appeared on The Real World: Las Vegas, as a replacement for former roommate Adam Royer. Because there was already another roommate named Heather, she went by her last name during the course of the show. She initially did not get along well with her female roommates. In 2013, she appeared on The Challenge: Rivals II with her former roommate, Naomi Defensor. After Naomi had to leave early due to a family emergency, she was paired up with Cara Maria Sorbello. Cooke and Sorbello were the first runners-up, and they each won $17,500.
