Some of her credits include: The Bill (ITV), Coronation Street (ITV), Silent Witness (BBC), Cold Feet (ITV) and Informer (BBC) among many others. She plays Miss Griffiths in the new season of the BAFTA nominated show Top Boy (Netflix).

She discusses that program, her preparation for her role in Top Boy andthe moment on stage when she realised she had found her calling.
