Study
For the time being, I studied music and English at Cork University College and earned a bachelor’s degree at the Cork School of Music. Subsequently, I completed a Master of Letters at Trinity College Dublin, further attended the AVES course, a continuing education course in ensemble singing, and graduated with a Master of Arts in Composition at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.

Professional
I sing in various early music ensembles, direct several choirs, and compose music.

Why
Music has always been at the center of my life.

Elective Affinities
I love baking sourdough and have a passion for freedom. Some pieces that made a big impression on me were Byrd’s four-part Mass and Purcell’s Funeral Music.
