ABOUT

An Australian living in London, I am a recorder player, composer, project manager and workshop leader. My work encompasses a diverse range of settings and contexts with a focus on connection, communication and quality. 

I have been fortunate enough to work with a wide variety of organisations who share my passion for creativity and access, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Barbican Creative Learning, NW Live Arts, Drumworks, Aldeburgh Young Musicians and Create. As part of my work with my quartet Breakfast Club, I have worked with migrant and refugee women in Athens, Greece and here in London. 

I have been teaching at the Guildhall School of Music since 2015 and I relish the opportunity to expose young musicians to life beyond the practice room and to expand their definition of what a career in music might look like. Within this capacity, I led a practical research project into music and dementia at two leading London Hospitals - Music, Memory and Me. This is part of a broader interest in the arts and health, for which I have worked as a musician for Music in Hospitals, and have lead workshops in nursing homes and special education contexts with Create! 

As a composer and musician, I have performed my own work at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (Aus); the Sydney Fringe Festival (Aus); and the Curious Festival (UK). I was invited to the Bang on A Can Summer Institute (MA, USA) where I worked with a collective of international musicians and composers, before returning for a 5 week residency in New York. I perform with my ensembles Breakfast Club and Gold Vox, and I released my debut EP of original recorder duets entitled Ghost in 2018, whilst Breakfast Club released our album As Our Hands Move in 2022.
