She was last seen at her home address in the Highfield area of Gateshead at around noon on August 18.
She is described as 5ft 6in tall, of medium build, with long dark hair tied up.
When last seen she was wearing a black jacket, brown combat pants and black Nike trainers and carrying a shoulder bag and a large bag. She has a flower tattoo at the top of her left arm.
