Her mother took her to see a theater production of  “Show Boat,” where her father was working as the sound engineer for the show.

In 2000, she attended St. Edward’s School of Oxford, and that was when she started acting. From 2000 to 2005, she appeared in two school plays before moving on to study acting at the Drama Centre in London, where she performed in 10 plays. She also performed in at least one short film while in college.
