Throughout her time at Oxford she has lead the Oxford University Orchestra, Oxford University Sinfonietta, Orchestra VOX, and the St Anne's Camerata, and has enjoyed orchestra tours around Northern Italy and Portugal. She has combined her love of music and medicine through the role of musical director of the Tingewick 2024 medical society, which organises fundraising events (and a pantomime!) for Oxford University Hospitals Charity and Restore Charity.
