She won the Guildhall's Max and Peggy Morgan Award with the Bartok Viola Concerto and was viola soloist in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante with Alexander Janiczek and the Guildhall Chamber Orchestra in Milton Court Concert Hall, Barbican. She won the concerto prize at the Junior Royal Academy of Music.

She received a first class honours degree from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she studied with David Takeno and Pavlo Beznosiuk.

The Pelléas Ensemble are Tillett Trust and Tunnell Trust Young Artists.
