What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining university-level teaching, performance and arts producing, with opportunities to develop digital projects, secure funding, and mentor students in interdisciplinary, cross-cultural settings.

I am an adjunct lecturer and seasoned classical musician with a Master of Arts in Music Performance and doctoral study experience. I teach university-level modules, supervise undergraduate dissertations, and have designed curriculum across music, arts and culture.

As a performer, producer and artistic director I released a solo album, produced the digital concert series "Letters to Mozart" and host the "Legends of Reed" podcast. I secure grants, produce concerts and apply digital marketing and audio/video editing skills to expand audience reach and teach practical industry skills to students.
