She has a Bachelor of Science in human biology and biomedicine with honours in medicine, and a graduate diploma of education in human biology. Lucy started her career as a human biology teacher and sexual health educator while building a parallel career as a stadium-folk-pop singer song-writer. A long-time proponent of menstrual cycle awareness, Lucy used her own cycle as a tool to create music that won her WA’s Best Folk Act of 2016.
