She spent many years working in theatre, film and television, performing Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and many classic plays, and musicals, including her favourite, Gypsy. In the series Prisoner, she played Sarah Higgins for a year in Australia. She realised very early that the imaginary world was the place for her.
