Her early career was marked by a string of critically acclaimed performances in plays such as Tennessee Williams' 'The Rose Tattoo' alongside Zoe Wannamaker, 'Much Ado About Nothing' alongside Simon Russell-Beale, and 'Philistines' with Ruth Wilson and Phil Davies.
This impressive start set the tone for her highly acclaimed theatre career, which saw her star in productions like 'Wallander' alongside Kenneth Branagh, as well as numerous hit UK comedy series. She played the long-suffering girlfriend Chloe to Rafe Spall in 'Pete Versus Life', and had roles in 'Catastrophe', 'Lovesick', and 'Black Mirror'.
