Formerly a secretary, Adebibe was selected on 14 February 2006 to be the seventh model for Lara Croft in the video game series Tomb Raider.[4] The role involved promoting the game series in character on television and radio, so she underwent training in Lara Croft's trademark skills, from martial arts to elocution.[5] She retired from the role in 2008.
