Following undergraduate studies, she went on to complete a Master of Science in Performance Science from the Royal College of Music and a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of St Andrews. She is currently completing a PhD based at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and accredited by the University of St Andrews under the supervision of Dr Rachel Drury and Dr Ines Jentzsch.
