Born and bred in Sheffield, I am a graduate of Birmingham Conservatoire where I studied the flute with Jonathan Rimmer. As well as a BMus (Hons) degree, I also have ABRSM Diploma in Flute performance, ABRSM Grade 8 Flute, ABRSM Grade 3 Clarinet and ABRSM Grade 5 Piano and Music Theory. 

I have had the privilege of performing in masterclasses with Clare Southworth, Ian Clarke and Jonathan Kelly of the Berlin Philharmonic and have had lessons with both Marie-Christine Zupancic and Andrew Lane (piccolo) of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.   

I have performed in various venues and events across Europe, including Birmingham Symphony Hall, Cheltenham Jazz Festival and the Pablo Casals International Music Festival in Spain.

I currently play in Midlands based flute trio, Paradise Flutes providing a vibrant range of repertoire for all occasions, and the acclaimed Sheffield folk band, Jack's Rake. 

I have been teaching in a variety of settings for 8 years, teaching individual, small group and whole class instrumental lessons. My students have 100% examination pass rate and I have taken many students from beginner level to becoming high quality musicians and flautists. I have taught a range of ages from children as young as 5 to retired adult learners. 

I am fully DBS checked and am registered to the DBS update service.
