She said: “I love drawing and grew up watching cartoons on TV, so this really inspired me to study animation.
“My degree was so varied and I felt it provided me with a good understanding of the industry.”
She has also taken lead roles on major Hollywood movies such as Thor: The Dark World , Snowden and Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Her latest movie Go Back To China is about a spoilt Chinese-American fashion school graduate who is forced to work in a toy factory when her trust fund is withdrawn.
