As a young musician I was awarded a scholarship to study at Dartington International School and played on a bright green electric harp. My music has been featured on BBC 1 and written about in BBC Music magasine.

I performed at Blenheim Palace playing Strauss Waltz music which was such a romantic highlight and let the harp shine!

I have a black cat called smudge and he likes to go to sleep in my harp covers, when he can.

I am a fan of yoga and swimming and like to walk in nature, with my favourite place being the Lake District.
