Performances included The Big Jam in Catalyst Belfast, supported by VAI, The Potential of Vacancy, curated by Sinead McCann, and two live shows in Temple Bar Studios. She was one of 20 artists who performed in the Right Here, Right Now live event that took place in Kilmainham Gaol in November 2010. The ongoing series of performances Walking in the Way, were created and performed with Pauline Cummins in Belfast, Dublin and Edinburgh, where gender construction is explored. In 2011 she graduated with an MSc in Art Psychotherapy in Queen Margaret University, Scotland.
