About me

I am a singing teacher based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex with an MA in Vocal Pedagogy.

I performed with one of the UK’s leading symphonic choruses, Crouch End Festival Chorus, for ten years: highlights included Lord of the Rings in Concert and the First Night of the BBC Proms 2022 at the Royal Albert Hall, Ennio Morricone's final UK concert at the O2, as well as Christmas concerts with King's College, Cambridge, singing with Take That and recording at Abbey Road.

Locally, I run a choir called The Fifty. I am the Singing Convenor for the Southend Festival of Performing Arts and was previously the Chair of Trustees for Southend Boys' and Girls' Choirs. I created Southend Vox Community and Chamber Choirs and co-founded Spelthorne Young Voices.
