She has performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for their Debut Sounds Concert. She has also performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and the London Chamber Strings.

She holds a Master of Music from the Royal Academy of Music in London and a Bachelor of Music with multiple honors from the Chicago College of Performing Arts.
