I studied Music and Acoustics as a combined BSc at the University of Southampton and have been playing cello since my childhood. I currently study with Sasha Neustroev, a professional cellist from the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zürich. I’m originally from the UK and relocated to Zürich in 2010. I now have British and Swiss citizenship.

Since 2014 I’ve been the principal cellist of the Notabene Symphony Orchestra in Zürich. I enjoy chamber music and play in a string quartet as well as a folk/world group.
