She graduated from the University of Sydney (BA in Film & Performance studies) where she was awarded the Walter Reid Memorial Prize.[3] She travelled to London where she completed an MA in Classical acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.[4] In 2010 she became an Australia Council Artstart recipient,[5] which allowed her to study Viewpoints and Suzuki at the Saratoga International Theater Institute (SITI) in New York City.[4]
After dabbling in theatre producing early in her career,[6] she turned her attention towards cinema. Her first feature iSOLATE,[7] screened on the opening night of the 2012 CinefestOz film festival[8] alongside The Intouchables, and 33 Postcards. In 2013 she returned to theatre, only this time, as a director of musical theatre.
