Career
Her first television role was playing Anne Baxter in the soap opera Neighbours. She also played the lead role in the Australian short film, Hugo.
James joined the cast of Home and Away as Nicole Franklin in 2008. James enjoyed playing Nicole because she was "feisty and fun" and they did not have much in common, beyond a love for fashion. In March 2011, James confirmed that she had left Home and Away, and had plans to audition for roles in Los Angeles. The following year, she appeared in the telefilm Beaconsfield, a dramatisation of the Beaconsfield Mine collapse.
In 2015, James made an appearance in television drama Love Child. She also filmed a small role in Australian feature film Spin Out, and appears in comedy film You're Gonna Miss Me. In 2017, James starred in a production of Nick Enright's Blackrock at the Seymour Centre.
Personal life
In December 2010, James became engaged to professional rugby league footballer Nate Myles. The pair wed on 23 December 2011. In August 2017, James confirmed she was expecting the couple's first child.
In 2014, James was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. She returned to the Gold Coast, Queensland to be with her husband and to receive treatment. Her father was being treated for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the same time. James is in remission.
