After graduating, she moved to London and danced for Living The Dream Dance Company, The Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, and The Art of Movement choreographed by Billy Cowie, among others.

Simone's passion for dance in film inspired her to choreograph and perform in Dance Short Films and Music Videos, some of which have been screened at numerous Dance Film Festivals worldwide. She has also appeared in commercials for brands such as Turkish Airlines, Clear Blue, and Peugeot. In addition, Simone has acted in English short films, including 'Til Forever' directed by Lord of the Dance’s, Michael Flatley.

The film, created by Fabio Guaglione & Fabio Resinaro, directed by Jacopo Rondinelli, and produced by Mercurius, had a successful release in Italy in September 2018, and later sold to multiple territories.

Simone's latest film project was the drama feature film 'Homeless Ashes' created and directed by Marc Zammit, where she stars as the character Jess. The film premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in London and has received critical acclaim.
