I have been fortunate to receive tuition from many fine musicians throughout my career, namely Monika Laczofy and Mark Ray (solo performance) and Ian Brown, Michael Cox, Keith Crellin, Keith Hempton, Janis Laurs, Poul Ruders, Christopher Rowland and Clark Rundell (chamber music).
I have performed in masterclasses and competitions for Stefan Ammer, Nelly Ben-Or, Antoinette and Claire Cann, Ronald Farren-Price, Stephen Hough, Peter Lawson, David Lockett, Murray McLachlan, Max Olding, Pawel Skryzpek, Gill Sullivan and Gerard Willems.

“The Concerto of Stravinsky was for me the highlight of the works presented. This had a profound effect on me through its rhythmic control and architectural awareness. The piano was an integral part of the concertante element of this work and the neoclassical fiorituri and other improvisatory phrases were delivered . . . [with] virtuosity and clarity.”

I am proudly Adelaide-born and -raised, although for the last two years I have been dividing my time between Australia, England and Belgium. Now I am back in the UK for good!

I have been the recipient of many awards for my performances and academic achievements, most notably:

"In the immense silence of emptiness, Universal Cosmic Energy illuminates omnipresently over the deep space of impermanent existence, where sufferings exist endlessly in the profoundly moving beauty of the Universe. Meditation is the greatest path to the cessation of sufferings under the movement of intelligence, peace, and love."
