ABOUT ME
WHO I AM
INTERESTS
I'm a Cleveland girl who headed west to join the Oregon Symphony viola section from 2005-2019. During my time in Portland I was honored to perform for the citizens of Portland; in concert halls, at schools, prisons, shelters, hospices, community centers, and anywhere music was welcomed or needed.
My many years as a private instructor led me to lead the Oregon ASTA chapter which serves to provide teaching resources and performance opportunities for students.
​
Currently, I'm Director of Artistic Planning and Orchestral Operations of the Richmond Symphony, allowing me to bring service to another community in a different way.
​
Work/life balance is important as well as living your best and only life so you can fine me singing karaoke, winning trivia nights, enjoying a glass of wine with my friends, traveling, and volunteering. Oh, and I'm a diehard Cleveland sports fan.
