I was born in Mexico. I live in London. My mother was Mexican, my father British.

In the 1970s I was a music student at the Escuela Formativa por las Artes  in Monterrey, Mexico. 

In the 1980s, in the United Kingdom, I was a member of the European Union Baroque Orchestra at the University of Oxford, and I graduated with distinction from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. I then started a career as a flute and recorder player with symphony orchestras, chamber orchestras, and as a soloist.

In 2022 I obtained a master's degree with distinction at Kingston University London, where I won the MMus Performance Prize.  

My present research for a doctoral degree is titled "Post-authentic revival of the modern Dolmetsch recorder", on which I  am working (university not yet defined) whilst continuing my career as a performing musician.
