She was invited to become a candidate after being suggested to the National Ballet’s search committee.

According to the article, she's got a lot of experience as a performer in modern/contemporary dance, as a member of Rambert Dance Comipany and Hubbard Street and is expected to expand the contemporary rep at NBoC.

I remember Hope Muir as a dancer with English National Ballet even before she joined Rambert.

Best wishes to her for her new post.
