She trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and has worked in many theatres in Great Britain and Ireland including the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, the National Theatre in London and spent a very successful season with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon and the West End. She has performed in both classical and modern plays, most recently touring Scotland and to London in Conor McPherson's Tony-award winning play, Shining City.
Her interest in voice work and public speaking is inspired by the great teachers Patsy Rodenburg at the National and Cicley Berry at the RSC, who is probably the most famous voice teacher in the world.
