She and co-writer Mykl Lozin jointly won The Best Fiddle Composition Award Australia and NZ for their fiddle tune "Olliebod's Jig" at the Australian Inaugural Golden Fiddle Awards in 2005. She has performed at the Melbourne Concert Hall, Melbourne's Continental Cafe and the Port Fairy Folk Festival.
