En el Trinity College , fue miembro del Trinity College Trinitones, el primer grupo a capella de mujeres del colegio .

Como parte de un programa de estudios en el extranjero, fue a Trinidad para hacer una pasantía en la oficina de un diplomático y en un sello discográfico. Mientras estuvo allí, cantó el respaldo de la banda de un amigo frente a más de 80,000 personas en la final internacional de Soca Monarch en 2002.
