Prior to my recent relocation to beautiful Palm Harbor, Florida, I had performed extensively throughout the Fox Valley, Wisconsin area with a variety of great organizations, including:
- Ripon College Wind Ensemble
- Ripon College Orchestra
- Marion College Varsity Band
- Fond du Lac Community Band
- Fond du Lac Chamber Orchestra
- Oshkosh Chamber Singers
- Oshkosh Symphony Orhestra
- UW Oshkosh Wind Ensemble
- UW Oshkosh Orchestra
- UW Oshkosh Early Music Ensemble
- Wisconsin Symphonic Winds
I started teaching privately in 2003, during my last year of college at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and completed my Bachelor of Arts-Music degree in 2004.
I continued teaching and began playing the harp in 2006. I also started adjudicating Solo and Ensemble festivals for WSMA (Wisconsin School Music Association) in 2006 and became a Master Adjudicator in 2018.
I have always had an interest in Early Music (pre 1700), and enjoy attending the annual Whitewater Early Music Festival http://www.whitewaterearlymusic.org/. I was preiously a member of The Renard Consort, an Appleton, WI based group of recorder enthusiasts consisting of both amateur and professional musicians. Renard plays a variety of styles and composers, from pre-renaissance to contemporary. In 2018, I started learning to play the bass viola da gamba to further pursue my interest in Early Music.
