Theresa began acting when she was 5 years old at her local stage school, this led onto studying and training at the famous Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. She continued studying drama and this led to her first class honours degree in Acting from Guildford School of Acting which were hugely formative years for her. Theresa is ethnically ambiguous and has played various races, but she is actually of Indian parentage & was born in Kolkata, India.
