I was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Sessional Staff Excellence Award in 2021 for my teaching at WAAPA. Other accolades include:
—2022 APRA Professional Development Award finalist
—2020 Freedman Jazz Fellowship nominee
—2015 National Jazz Awards semi-finalist
—4x WAM Jazz Song of the Year winner (2012–2014 and 2019)

I teach double bass, bass guitar, and music theory, and offer tutoring for small ensembles.
