I attended the Saturday Club at St Margaret's during my primary school years and joined the Youth Choir in 2001. Over time I have become increasingly involved with many aspects of church life, having been an active member of the Pathfinders and Faithkeepers groups, taken part in the Youth Alpha Course and helped at numerous Holiday Clubs, in 2006 I was confirmed by Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali. Whether it be singing in or conducting the choir, playing the piano at the Badgers Mount services, deputising as Assistant Organist or helping with communion services, I have always enjoyed helping wherever I felt able.

Now studying a degree in Music at Royal Holloway, University of London, my experiences as a pianist, clarinettist, organist, singer, guitarist, conductor and arranger over the years at St Margaret's and at secondary school are being put to good use! I am very fortunate in addition to my piano and clarinet studies, to be an organ scholar under Professor Lionel Pike at St Michael's Church in Sunninghill (Ascot). As an Associate of the Academy of Saint Cecilia I have a wide appreciation of music dating from medieval times right through to the present day. I also hold student membership to the ISM.

Whilst I am currently living away to pursue my degree, I continue to maintain this website and other online outreach facilities. During holidays I continue to work with our choirs, either singing in the stalls or conducting from the music stand! Of course I am still aiming to teach others how to manage the website and update its contents, and so if you should become interested please make yourself known.
