Maxine began her professional orchestral career touring with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and the Academy of St. Martins-in-the-fields whilst still a first year student at the Royal Academy of Music. She successfully auditioned for a place on the London Symphony Orchestra string experience scheme whilst at the RAM and became a permanent member of the 1st violins in 2001 after graduating with an ARAM and a 1st class honours degree. Maxine is now the 1st violin mentor for the scheme which gives students the chance to experience working in a professional orchestra. 

Maxine can be seen on YouTube in a series of online masterclasses for the LSO and on their "LSO play" app for tablets. She features on the LSO's YouTube channel in two duo recitals filmed at LSO St. Luke’s, one of which was the very first concert the orchestra ever streamed live online. She was also invited to interview Nikolai Znaider to discuss his thoughts on the Tchaikovsky Concerto as part of the LSO's 2015 Violin Festival. 

She has written articles for and been interviewed by Classic FM, the Violin Channel, the Strad, Musical Orbit and Bachtrack to name a few.

No stranger to the famous Abbey Road studios, Maxine has recorded with the LSO, and on a freelance basis, almost a hundred film and television soundtracks including many Oscar nominated and winning blockbusters. Films include some of the Star Wars films, most of the Harry Potter series, The Queen, The Imitation Game, Monuments Men, Shape of Water, Cinderella and Brave to name a few. 

Computer game recordings have become an exciting new venture in the recording business of late. Maxine has been been involved in many projects which vary from Candy Crush soda to The Last Guardian and includes the very popular Star Wars Battlefront series. 

Other commercial recordings include working with such eclectic artists as Jennifer Lopez, Chaka Khan, Jamie Cullum, Gregory Porter, Emilie Sande, Nobuo Uematsu and Tony Bennett.

In 2010 Maxine was invited to contribute a chapter to Tom Hoover's book "Soundtrack Nation" which explores all aspects of the film recording industry.
