After completing a Bachelor of Music degree at the Boston University School for the Arts, Margaret accepted an invitation to the Banff Centre for Fine Arts, where she completed the Winter Program. From there, she moved to Toronto, where she earned a Master's degree at the University of Toronto and began a remarkably active freelance career performing on both modern and period cello.

Margaret can be heard on numerous CDs, including "A Curious Collection for the Common Flute", several CBC recordings, a release from New Music Concerts, and a recent Hungaroton disc of 17th century English theatre music.
