I studied music and composition at the University of Birmingham completing an AHRC funded Doctorate in 2008. I then worked as a freelance composer, performer and curator before being appointed as lecturer here in 2014. I have   worked in arts administration and events and project management and completed a Masters in Arts and Project Management at Birmingham City University in 2011.

As a composer, my work has been performed extensively in concerts and festivals internationally. My work has been recognised through inclusion in a number of international conferences and I received an honorable mention at the 35th International Competition of Electroacoustic Music and Sonic Art, Bourges 2008. I have received a number of commissions including those from the University of Birmingham, Rosie Kay Dance Company, Birmingham Hippodrome, Jazzlines and PRS Women in Music.

I teach undergraduate modules in studio composition and postgraduate modules in Electroacoustic Resources and Advanced Electroacoustic Resources.

I am happy to supervise students interested in electroacoustic composition and related areas.

My research interests include multichannel acousmatic composition, performance practice of electroacoustic music, live acousmatic performance, phonography, site-specific installations and cross disciplinary collaboration.

I have been a Jury member for Jeu de Temps / Time Play competition, Canada (2008-2012) and for the Interntional Computer Music Conference, 2011

I am a board member of the International Society for Contemporary Music (Britain)

In 2010, I founded SOUNDkitchen, a Birmingham based organisation dedicated to promoting local sound artists and composers. As a curator I have received funding from the Sound and Music Composer Curator Programme.
