'In 1999 I completed a joint honours degree in Dance and Music. In 2000 I began part-time lecturering in Choreoraphy and Dance History at Derby University and completed my Pilates teacher training in 2002. I taught dance at Deda, in schools and for community projects. At the same time I shared space with Tricia Durdey and taught Pilates at Groom's Cottage Pilates Studio, Coldwell Street until moving to the Coach House in 2011. In 2016 I completed an MA in Songwriting and Performance and released my debut album, 'Linen' the same year. My second album will be released...soon! My Pilates work finished in 2018, so I am able to concentrate on my songwriting/performances and to make the very most of the Coach House as a venue in the town.'
