Ali returned to the UK for An Extremely Memorable Emergency, having lived and worked in Ireland for a year, not only taking in the good Irish spirit but also starring in several productions, including playing Fairy Goose Down in Mother Goose, a voice production of Under Milk Wood, and principle female in Undecided. Before abandoning Britain for the green shores of Ireland, Ali starred in many productions all over the UK, and is a versatile actress who has taken on the challenge of Alice in Alice in Wonderland as well as parts in the more lighthearted Macbeth and Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Film credits include Hands of Fate, currently submitted to Cannes Short Film Festival, and The Water Hen, featured at the Cambridge Film Festival 2003. What little spare time Ali has is filled with teaching musical theatre and acting classes, singing and dance.
