Her debut feature One Hundred Mornings received a Special Jury Award at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival, an IFTA for Best Cinematography and won the inaugural Workbook Project Discovery and Distribution Award as well as awards at numerous international film festivals.

She is also an executive producer of the television shows Irish Pictorial Weekly currently in its third series and The Savage Eye, one of the most successful scripted comedy shows for national broadcaster RTÉ.
