She eventually joined the company as a fulltime employee and served as an assistant to Vivienne Schuster, another experienced agent of the company. She has been working there ever since and has represented a host of young authors.

She considers herself privileged to represent the Estate of Daphne du Maurier. Thanks to her job as a literary agent, she has developed a strong love for reading books. She is continuously reading different kinds of books, even those that she doesn't represent, to keep the interest growing, as well as to avoid monotony. She is interested in fiction from different genres, including psychological suspense or thrillers "where peril or risk is introduced to a domestic setting", "historical fiction that transports you to another time" and women's fiction executed with "humour, pathos and intelligence". While she did not represent these, she loves books like 'The Martian' and 'Gone Girl'.
