This year I will be Cover Conductor to Northern Ballet, whilst previously having worked as the Trainee Female Conductor at Opera North (2022-23) and Assistant Conductor at the Opera de Massy, Paris (2020-21).

I participated in the 57th and 58th International Besançon Competition for Young Conductors, reaching the semi-finals in 2023. I have been selected to participate in masterclasses, including with Marin Alsop and the Philharmonia, Daniele Gatti at the Chigiana Academy, Jorma Panula, Sir Mark Elder, and Antony Hermus. I have conducted the Hallé, Philharmonia Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Orchestre Victor Hugo Franche-Comté, Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne, Ensemble Variances and Ensemble des Apaches.

I regularly assist the BBC and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic on behalf of the Royal Northern College of Music.

In 2024 I will complete an MMus in Orchestral Conducting at the RNCM with Mark Heron and Clark Rundell. I previously graduated in 2021 with Perfectionnement in Conducting and Composition from the École Normale de Musique de Paris under Dominique Rouits, Julien Masmondet and Regis Campo, and in 2022 I gained the Advanced Certificate in Contemporary Repertoire from the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana under Arturo Tamayo. I hold a BA(Hons) in Music from the University of Oxford where I was a choral and instrumental scholar.

Proactively I have created my own opportunities, founding the Paris Sinfonia with whom I conduct concerts featuring contemporary music, and the Occasional Orchestra in Oxford commissioning ballet and performance art.
