I was born and raised in Surrey UK where I was a keen member of the local arts scene. When I turned 17 I was offered a place in the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and subsequently was awarded a place in Laudibus, its elite semi-professional chamber choir.
I studied an Academic Music degree at the University of York and I graduated with a B.A (hons) in Music. During my time at university, I was a busy and proactive member of many student society committees including establishing the University of York Opera Society which remains one of the most successful societies at York. In 2009 I created my own opera company Operagasmic which specifically looks at new ways of making opera more accessible to a wider audience, an aim close to my heart.
I now live in New Zealand having originally moved here after graduation to work as a Music Tutor at Wanganui Collegiate School. I now live in the cultural capital Wellington, enjoying its excellent coffee but not its weather!
I enjoy teaching singing and directing the choir at St Mary's College as well as teaching my private students. I also love optimising audiences and working in Publicity, especially online publicity. I thrive on having different projects on the go which I regularly talk about in my blog.
