In 2006 she gained her Master's degree with Distinction and in 2007 she was awarded an MMP (Masters in Music Performance, Guildhall Artist) also with Distinction. In the same year she won the First Prize in the Eastbourne Symphony Orchestra Young Soloist Competition; the McCullum Prize for the most promising pianist at the Royal Overseas League Music Competition in London; 2007 Myra Hess Award (MBF); Romantic Piano Prize at the Guildhall and most recently was awarded the J.
