She has since appeared in more than 30 local films and Mediacorp productions, both in English and Mandarin. Foo attended Rosyth School and Methodist Girls’ School.[4] She left St Andrew's Junior College in 2015 before completing her studies, due to juggling filming commitments and having to lead the school's dance team for the Singapore Youth Festival at the same time.[5] Foo subsequently entered the University at Buffalo via Singapore Institute of Management with her ‘O’ level scores. She became a full-time Mediacorp actress after graduating the college with a psychology degree.[6]
