My love of singing started young (from 2 years old I was singing along to Dolly Parton) but I wasn't introduced to Opera until I found Natalie Dessay on YouTube in my teens. I fell in love instantly and copied everything I saw in every video - teaching myself arias in French, German and Italian by ear but didn't start my training until 19. Now, my aim is to bring life and depth to every role and woman I play.

I grew up in Drogheda, Ireland but moved to Manchester in 2022 and absolutely love it! When I'm not performing, you can usually find me video gaming, reading or building Lego sets with my partner. I practise Yoga and Pilates weekly and (weather permitting) love to walk and explore outdoors.
