She studied civil engineering at the University of Portsmouth, and whilst doing so, became more interested in mechanical engineering. Having completed her degree, she worked at the Chiltern Open Air Museum, the Royal Armouries and the British Engineerium where she continues to be employed. It was from here that her television career was launched when she appeared on Channel 4's Salvage Squad – a programme about restoring historical machinery – first as a participant, later as co-presenter. Whilst filming, she completed a master's degree in Conservation of Industrial Heritage and won the Association for Industrial Archaeology Student Fieldwork Award.
