  • Flutist

    I am a flutist dedicated to contemporary music for solo and chamber settings.

    I commission, perform, and record music by today’s most forward-thinking composers whose music I truly admire.

  • Collaborator

    Collaborating with others to create and share exciting new work is what I find most artistically fulfilling.

  • Teacher-mentor

    As a teacher-mentor, I guide students how to discover and grow as an artist.

    Students feel empowered and become advocates for their own musical journey.
