Her art is informed by the people it inspires and impacts. She believes that community raised her; her art is the direct product of that experience.

An active freelancer, engagements have included playing flute with The Broadway’s Sinfonia’s Ratatouille The Musical, The Boston Copley Library’s Courtyard series, The Boston Sculptors Gallery, The Unsung Orchestra, and The Sugar Hill Salon chamber music series.
