Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy playing the piano and hold an ABRSM Advanced Certificate Diploma in Piano Performance (Distinction,
High Scorer). My favorite composers are Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky. I play for friends and family at
gatherings and have performed in competitions and concerts including the Newnham College 90th Anniversary of
the Roll at the University of Cambridge. I also enjoy tasting teas and having a good natter with friends over lapsang
souchong and warm crumbly scones.
