Additional Info:

After studying under the tutelage of Nicholas Daniel, I won a place to study at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester with Valerie Taylor. Subsequently I was awarded a Foundation Scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music, London where I studied with Christopher Cowie, David Theodore and Gareth Hulse. I attained a BMus(Hons) first class and then decided to continue my studies at RCM with John Anderson and received an MPerf with Distinction. During my postgraduate studies, I took part on an Erasmus exchange to the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Stuttgart, Germany where she learned with Christian Schmitt.

Whilst at the RCM I was the winner of the RCM Edward & Helen Hague Senior Woodwind prize. I am grateful to have received awards from the Wolfson, Martin Musical and EMI Sound Foundations, and the John Macintyre Memorial Trust. Since graduating in 2011, I have played with various orchestras and ensembles including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Royal Ballet Sinfonia and Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and was chosen to participate in the London Symphony Orchestra Academy for Woodwind in 2011. As an active chamber musician I co-founded and play with the Armartis Ensemble and was invited to play at the Tunnell Trust Chamber Music Showcase in Blair Atholl. In addition, I won the 2011 RCM Douglas Whittaker Memorial Prize for chamber music, and subsequently performed in the Elgar Room of the Royal Albert Hall and the Chilingirian Mozart Chamber Music Festival. I was named one of the RCM’s Rising Stars of 2011 and in July of the same year was also selected to perform alongside renowned artists including Hansjorg Schellenberger, Klaus Thunemann and Felix Renggli at the Encuentro de Música y Academia de Santander Festival in Spain. During 2013, I held the position of Co-Principal Oboe with Southbank Sinfonia.
