After completing her bachelor of music degree at the W.A. Academy of Performing Arts, and a teaching assistantship at the N.S.W Newcastle Conservatorium of Music, Jennifer made two trips to France to take part in international chamber music workshops. As a result of these workshops, she was invited to Prague, C.Z. to study chamber music at the Hudebni Academy. Jennifer also made several trips to London to study ‘cello and the Alexander Technique with Vivien Mackie, a former student of the Pablo Casals. Jennifer has been fortunate enough to perform in masterclasses and workshops in Europe and Australia with some great musicians: Mistislav Rostropovich, Steven Isserlis, Peter Wispelway, Ralph Kirschbaum, Pierre Bensusan to name a few. She has recorded for the ABC Young Australia program, film, television, and many album recordings. Jennifer enjoys performing, composing and arranging music with local, interstate and international musicians. She has recorded with many groups and toured to festivals around Australia and once to the U.S.A.

Jennifer has been a guest adjudicator and tutor at festivals and eisteddfods in both W.A. and South Australia. After more than thirty years of performing and teaching around Australia and overseas Jennifer is very keen to encourage young musicians to develop and perform. She became an accredited Suzuki early childhood music educator and ran the only Suzuki early childhood music class in rural South Australia for 5 years. Since returning to Perth at the end of 2021 Jennifer has continued to teach and perform and collaborate with local musicians both in the folk world and classical.
