I received a Wingate Scholarship for the UK academic year 2002-03 in support of my studies towards the Diploma in Professional Performance at the Royal Northern College of Music. This is a qualification which I received for Cello Performance, studying with Ralph Kirshbaum. Since graduating with this qualification I have been working as a freelance cellist both here in the UK and in Australia. I have worked with many UK orchestras, including the Hallé, Northern Sinfonia, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony, London Philharmonic and the Northern Ballet Orchestra. I also perform regularly as a chamber musician and am a tutor of cello and chamber music at the RNCM Junior School and for Yorkshire Young Musicians.
