I have just moved back to my native London, having lived for the last ten years in New Zealand. I originally studied singing, but subsequently somehow fell into playing the piano instead, leading me to work as a repetiteur on many productions with New Zealand Opera, as well as work in the world of musical theatre. These have given me a passion for musical drama in all forms, and skills which I intend to put to use here in London.

On the rare instances when I'm not behind I piano I enjoy cycling around the city and slightly obsessively going to the theatre. My daily ritual is solving the New York Times Crossword, though I've gotten too good at it now, it doesn't take long enough any more.
