Experiences
- Founder/CEO at The Tropic Pianist GamerTeach ASD and ADHD friendly piano lessons in North Wales
I started in 2016 too scared to phone people back. By 2019 word of mouth had me nearly fully booked.
- MarriageMet my husband over a shared love of Mario Kart
Games are still our shared passion, even if Dr. G finishes everything 100% and I just play the story.
- Co-Founder at Nintendo North WalesCo-founded a Nintendo meetup that became a safe space
We meet in person to play co-op games and make friends. I also co-run Nintendo Players UK, the biggest fan hub.
- MusicWent from not playing in public to a Coronation Day gig
University left me sure I wasn't a 'real' musician. Going live in my Facebook group gave me my confidence back.
- FitnessTold the i paper how a gamer like me got fit
I played Ring Fit Adventure daily through lockdown and kept off the two stone I'd lost before it.
- Master's student at Composition master's degreePaid for my composition master's with a Morrisons job
I turned down teacher training. My best mark came from a string quartet built around the number pi.
- Early lifePlayed recorder at 3, violin at 4 and piano at 7
I was the girl with too many hobbies, raised on Scottish folk music, with a couple of novels written by 15.
