I began to play the harp myself for no other reason than that as a child, I was fascinated by this elegant instrument with a beautiful sound and really wanted to try it for myself!

I was extremely fortunate in being able to do so, and, many years later, I have become no less intrigued by the harp's musical versatility.

Hello! After several years working as a freelance musician in Edinburgh, I will be based in Glasgow from 2013.

I enjoy a busy career which combines composing, performing and teaching work.

I studied at the City of Edinburgh Music School and I learned to play harp from Sophie Askew, Isobel Mieras and Savourna Stevenson. I then went on to study for a degree in Music Composition (First Class BA Hons), at Dartington College of Arts. I moved back to Edinburgh in 2008, where I completed a Mmus in Composition at Edinburgh University with Nigel Osborne.
