She has worked at the National Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe as well as theatre companies around the country. In the UK, she has appeared in several long running series/continuing dramas including Silent Witness, Eastenders and The Bill. Her first feature film lead in multi award winning After Death the Movie was particularly interesting as the script was written based around an evening of actor improvisation of the key scenes.
