She has already played some of the most coveted roles in Musical Theatre, including Fantine in LES MISERÁBLES, Grizabella in CATS and the title role in EVITA. She paved her way onto the screen with her guest appearance in BBC’s HOLBY CITY and Donmar Warehouse’s live tv performance of THE VOTE, and appeared on the Portuguese hit TV series AMOR, AMOR as Julieta Serrão.
