I grew up in Southern California and my harp studies began at the age of 11 with Dominique Piana at the University of Redlands, California.
My winning competitions include The USC/ASTA (American String
Teacher's Association) harp division (1993) & The Redlands Bowl Young
Artists Competition (1996). After the my successes, I went on to study with Professor
Kathleen Bride at The Eastman School of Music. Here I earned a Bachelor's
degree in Harp Performance.
I enjoy performing at: gigs, solo recitals, chamber music recitals, harp ensembles & orchestral
performances, etc. During 2003 & 2004 I performed aboard Cunard's luxury cruise liners, Queen Mary 2 & Queen Elizabeth 2.
I have now relocated to North East England where I am continuing my musical
career. I have performed with the Northern Sinfonia, Leeds Sinfonia, Durham Sinfonia and was the resident harp tutor at
The Sage Gateshead performing arts centre from 2004 to 2007.
