Mili is a final year undergraduate scholar studying with Pieter Schoeman at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. She has performed in Israel, Cyprus, China, Turkey, Trinidad, France, Italy, Spain, Guernsey and the UK, with recent international competition successes including fourth prize in 'Premio Citta di Pavoda' 2012 and selection as the only European finalist in 'Giovani Musicisti' 2013.

She has received tuition and masterclasses from eminent musicians including Ben Zander, Rivka Golani, Andrew Haveron, Ofer Falk, Boris Brovstyn, Rodney Friend and Peter Cropper, and was selected to participate in the Jerusalem Academy of Music International Summer Institute for Strings and Cyprus International Summer Academy. A keen advocate of contemporary classical music, Mili dedicates much of her time to performing new works in a solo capacity, this year including pieces by Benjamin Ellin and Mark Grey. 

Her orchestral experience includes leading the London Young Soloists Ensemble as well as principal positions in the International Youth Symphony Orchestra, Focus Opera and National Schools' Symphony Orchestra. Mili won principal positions in all of Trinity Laban's orchestras by the beginning of her third year, with highlights including leading Trinity Laban's String Ensemble in performances of contemporary chamber works at the 2012 'Out of the Cage' Festival. Additionally, she co-led the orchestra of the first professional opera production in Trinidad & Tobago.

Mili is grateful for her scholarship support and sponsors, including EMI and HSBC. She plays a 1719 Camilli violin which she is generously loaned by the Benslow Trust.
