As an active recitalist, soloist, and guest artist, I enjoy playing all styles of flute music and specialize in performing music influenced by pop, rock, jazz, and world music.
My desire is to break down barriers keeping today’s listeners from enjoying the classical music experience.
Through engaging performances and educational experiences, I want to leave audiences coming back for more!
