Lucy trained at the Oxford School of Drama and secured roles in theatre, TV and film including Pride directed by Matthew Warchus and the British TV drama Southcliffe directed by Sean Durkin.
Out of the workplace, Lucy can be seen building dens with her partner and two sons, heading to a beach to swim, kayak or paddleboard or making lots of food to enjoy with friends and family. Music is a big part of her life so she will also be heard playing her piano or ukulele and singing either on her own, with friends and family or in groups.
