Though perhaps best known for directing numerous BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 documentaries (including Tory Wives, Identical Twins, and Asylum), she also had a career as a screenwriter and novelist, working on projects such as The Lady (a 2011 film) and Deceptions (a 2010 novel). A decade after studying at the University of Bristol, she directed a Channel 4 documentary program called The Ghosts of Oxford Street. She published her first novel, One Life, in 2006.
