Before finally deciding to write her first Young Adult novel, Debra was a hair and make-up artist.
After eleven years of being in the hair and make-up artist industry, Debra decided she wanted a change. Not knowing exactly what she wanted to do, she decided to study various courses including: Event Management, Set Design for TV & Film, and Acting for TV & Film at the New York Film Academy-leading her to live in Brooklyn, above a laundrette (how cliche!) for six months. After studying in NYC, Debra decided to dig out an old feature film screenplay she had written, take out a couple of the scenes and put together a sample. From that, Debra then went onto cast, direct, and produce.
As well as her love of writing, and chaperoning, Debra is also a Reiki two practitioner, and currently training to become a child counsellor.
