Growing up in Calgary, I thought I would be a veterinarian. That was before I joined band class in middle school—and realized being a vet involved more than petting cute animals. When I began taking private lessons in high school, I really discovered my passion for music. I loved collaborating with other musicians in the Calgary Youth Orchestra and the Mount Royal Conservatory’s Academy program and ended up auditioning to music school.

​

I chose to study at the University of British Columbia, where I completed my Bachelors and Masters of Music. At the suggestion of my music history teacher, who saw what a nerd I was, I also began learning baroque flute, and soon won a scholarship from Early Music Vancouver to study it privately. I relocated to Toronto and received an Advanced Certificate in Performance from the University of Toronto.

​

Since then, I am grateful to have performed across the country and internationally with ensembles including the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Red Deer Symphony, Trinity Bach Project, and my own chamber groups. I am endlessly appreciative to my teachers Kelly Zimba Lukić, Christie Reside, Mary Sullivan, and Soile Stratkauskas, and aim to be as inspiring a teacher as they were to me.

In my spare time, I channel my inner chemist into creating baked goods, with a croquembouche as my current crowning achievement.
