Born in Papua New Guinea and raised in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands before settling in Far North Queensland, Zara holds dual UK and Australian citizenship and is based in Brisbane, Australia.
Her career began during the height of COVID-19 whilst she obtained her Bachelor of Creative Industries (Drama and Performance) from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
