Born in Ethiopia, she moved to Dublin with her Irish mother after the death of her father in a car crash. After auditioning for a role in Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto, Jordan was so impressed that he changed the part so she could play it. Played Ophelia in Hamlet at the National Theatre in London in 2010, opposite Rory Kinnear as the title character. Only had eight days to prepare for the title role of Shirley Bassey in the BBA drama biopic, Shirley. Filmed scenes for 12 Years a Slave, but her role was eventually cut from the film.
