She has been playing music since the age of 11. Discovering the expansive music of Donegal in her mid teens led her to take a different approach to the fiddle and she becme immersed in the vastly different styole and repertoire of the county.

She has been a tutor at the Universtity of Limerick for the past 18 years and enjoys teaching fiddle all over Ireland and Europe.
