Sela began her journey at The Court Theatre in 2008 performing in readings of Angels and My Name is Gary Cooper before playing Stevie in the 2009 season of Angels. In 2013 she also performed in the first Pasifika musical, The Factory.

Following a sold-out development season of her new play Love; Mum in 2024, Sela is touring New Zealand this year with an all-female Pacific cast from Christchurch; hitting the NZ Fringe Festival in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch in March 2025.
