I graduated with honours from Aberdeen University, and have since been awarded a Diploma in Music from the Open University. I have also achieved qualifications at both Diploma and Licentiate levels in Guitar Performance through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

In the course of my studies I have performed in masterclasses given by world famous guitarists, including David Russell, Maximo Diego Pujol, and John Mills.

I perform regularly at events throughout Scotland, playing solo guitar music for functions such as weddings and parties. I play a variety of styles from classical and Spanish to traditional Scottish music.

Over the years I have played with different bands and groups of people, most recently the all-girl rock band Laid Back Ruby, and now with a group of different musicians playing traditional Celtic music.

I teach guitar in schools across Edinburgh, both at primary and secondary level. I also teach privately to children from age 8, as well as to adults.
