She studied acting and singing at the University of Wollongong. From Australia, she moved to New Zealand, where she settled in Wellington and played Joan in the short film Dead Letters by Paolo Rotondo.[3]

Career

Walker voiced Lunara in Heroes of the Storm and various characters in Fallout 76 (Miss Nanny, Beverly Solomon, Dorothy Orris, and Mawmaw).
