Tia's first chance to showcase her talent was with her Primary schoiol where they performed at The Royal Festival Hall then following that they also performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Performing to such a large audience at that young age arose a passion in Tia for the entertainment industry. However she could not take it any further at that age as her parents did not agree that this is the direction they wanted her to go. So for years after that Tia tryed many differnt courses to find another passion in life. However to no avail. Then at the age of 24 Tia had a, then, life changing event that made her think that this is now or never & she started to work her way into the entertainment industy.

Being such a late starter she found it difficult as most of her peers were in this for years. However her abilty and passion made her sucsefully get signed up to a few agencies where she went on to numerous film sets as an extra. This to Tia was a stepping stone. Then in 2009 she had her first speaking role and with this in the bag she managed to get on some of Londons top agency books ready to go in Jan 2010. Also in 2009 Tia was selected from many to be the presenter of Fashion Week Bridal Barcelona & Fashion Week Bridal New York. Having no previous experience with presenting the producers took a leap of faith on her judging her by the meeting that had with her at the casting for the show. Her mutli skilled abilitys and determination made it so she nailed it.
