“I discovered opera when I was a young singer and enjoyed it so much that I went on to study at music college. It was there I discovered my love for directing – building a show from the ground up and collaborating with other artists to realise your ideas was an absolute joy. I also work as a drama facilitator for a number of youth programmes in Northern Ireland, both for opera and not.
I grew up in Belfast in Northern Ireland and was fortunate to have grown up in quite a musical family. My parents could sing or play, my uncle is a composer, and I was always both encouraged and supported the more I chose to pursue this career.”
