Biography

I studied music at McGill University (BMus 2010, concentration piano performance) and Cambridge University (MPhil 2011; PhD 2018). I then supervised undergraduates for one year at the Cambridge Music Faculty, teaching postcolonial studies, ethnomusicology, and sound studies. My PhD thesis focused on the fundamental role of craftsmanship in the formation of gendered institutions in antiquity. My career now bridges the practical and academic. I work alongside the craftsmen and women at the Estonia Piano Factory who preserve endangered traditional skills of hand-crafting the highest quality musical instruments. I also plan to continue part-time academic research and teaching.
