As a composer, I have had the privilege of working with fantastic musicians nationwide. My works have been premiered by renowned ensembles such as Double Entendre, BETA Flute Quartet, pianist Ron Levy, the National Recorder Orchestra of Great Britain, and more. I write for various ensembles and enjoy advocating for rare woodwind instruments such as a contrabass and contralto clarinet. I have a significant library of solo and chamber works. I currently have a library of over 100 completed works, many of which are multi-movement pieces. In the near future, an exciting announcement will be made about this… (stay tuned!)
As a performer, I enjoy freelancing across the tri-state area. I am a member of several ensembles, including recorder and composer for LaFiocco, oboe, and English horn for the East Brunswick Symphony Orchestra and the New Jersey Opera Theater. I also host a variety of concerts at the church where I am the Minister of Music, organist, and choir director.
As Director of Advocacy and Secretary of the Plattsburgh Clarinet Choir, I proudly represent our ever-expanding organization and help bring awareness to the variety of new works and programs available to clarinet enthusiasts worldwide. We are excited to have your interest and hope you will join us for our upcoming events!
As an educator of over eight years, I run an instrumental music program of over 150 students. I am very proud of my middle school students! I hold a B.A. in Music Education and an M.A. of Educational Leadership.
