I am a conductor, musicologist, and orchestral librarian working in Research Publication and Data Services at UWA. Since 2018, I have held a variety of positions in the University Library, IT, and at the Conservatorium of Music. As a musicologist, my interests include the works of John Adams, minimalism, medievalism, contemporary opera, and the cultural history of the high male voice. Outside of UWA, I maintain an active profile as an orchestral and operatic conductor. I am an alum of the WASO Emerging Conductor’s Program, and the Melbourne Youth Orchestra's Conductor Development Program.
