Jane was captivated by her first opera at the age of eight, and realising she loved story-telling in all different forms, went on to study English and Drama at university. Working as a dresser while she was a student, Jane was drawn to the myriad of stories told on stage, and became a drama teacher, where she shared that love and passion with her students. Seeing the job as Director of Outreach and Education advertised at Scottish Opera, she went for it (despite having no experience), and they realised that Jane’s commitment to telling stories in fresh and imaginative ways made her the perfect candidate. Jane was Awarded an MBE in 2017 in recognition of the achievement of Scottish Opera’s unique outreach programme in Scotland and internationally. This year, she is celebrating Scottish Opera’s 50 years of pioneering outreach and education work, with a unique series of projects bringing music and performance into the lives of people and communities across the country.
