About Me

I'm a genre-hopping cellist and amateur chorister studying Music Education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. I am the cellist for Quart-Ed, an educational string quartet, and I've recently been exploring the string folk scene.

I sustained an anxiety-related playing injury in 2016 and am now on the road to recovery with a passion for awakening and deepening people’s musical identities, and developing healthy music making practices in school settings and beyond.
