“I am a British soprano and graduate of the GSMD opera course, studying under the tutelage of Janice Chapman and Mike Pugh. I never thought I’d be a singer and was planning to become a doctor, until the wonderful Susan McCulloch heard me sing and took me under her wing. Fifteen years later, here I am earning a living through singing! being the daughter of creatives and granddaughter of BBC giants, I was kidding myself by doing anything else.
Outside of opera, I am an avid theatre goer, I love seeing all kinds of theatre including Shakespeare and new-writes. My favourite there’s is the Royal Court! I adore cooking, eating out and trying new cuisines as well as being in the countryside with my parents’ Norfolk Terriers, Rita & Nellie”
