Anna began vocal training at the age of eighteen with well known Bass-Baritone John Dethick. While still at school she won the Lamorna Prize. She went on to study music and singing at Huddersfield University.  During her time at college, she studied opera roles that were most suited to her voice; Susanna (Marriage of Figaro), Despina ( Cosi fan tutti), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel), Adele (Die Fledermaus), Pamina (Magic Flute) to name a few.  Also studied were oratorio works by Handel, Mozart, Haydn and pieces of baroque music and classical music.

After her time at college, Anna enjoyed a varied and busy career as a concert, recital and oratorio singer. Four years ago she took a break from singing to have a family, and now studies singing with renowned soprano Jayne Carpenter.  Anna has a high, light voice that copes equally well with coloratura and legato lines. She has an extensive and flexible repertoire, ranging from Mozart to musical theatre. She is re-establishing herself as a concert and recital singer and recently made her opera debut as Gretel in the highly successful Northern Chamber Orchestras production of Hansel and Gretel.
