She studied at the Junior Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with Betsy Taylor, before spending four years in Manchester at the Royal Northern College of Music studying with Peter Dixon, Petr Prause and Nicholas Trygstad. During her time at the RNCM she was awarded the Amy Lindley Cello Prize as well as the Shirley Cattarall Award for Cello. She co-founded the violin and cello duo ‘Nexus Duo’ who gave regular concerts around the north of England. 

In 2021 she began her studies at the University of Music and the Arts in Vienna, Austria.
