She is also the conductor of the Wick Choral Society, the St Johns Singers and the Highland Chamber Orchestra. She was the conductor of the Highland Region Youth Orchestra for 15 years and has recently been appointed as the new conductor of the Aberdeenshire Youth Orchestra. She continues to work regularly for the Scottish Schools Orchestral Trust.
