She is an Actor, Psychotherapeutic Humanistic Counsellour (BACP) and a STAT-certified Alexander Technique Teacher. She is currently in her Intermediate year of Somatic Experiencing training (SOS Internationale) and in her first year of Shamanic Practitioner Training (Second Sight Healing).

She is an Artistic Director of the award-winning theatre company Tanglehead. Her first solo project Out of The Frying Pan debuted in the Brighton Fringe 2022 and is currently being developed for future performances.
