Music is one of my greatest passions- I am primarily a singer but also love to play upright bass, guitar and most recently- ukelele!  I currently play and perform with the Squash Blossom Boys, a terrific bluegrass band.  Previous projects include Green Billies (2014-2016), Three String Bale (2008-2013) and Vida, a nationally touring four-woman vocal ensemble (1995-2001).

My parents and grandparents exposed me to music at a young age through informal singing and playing and eventually formal piano lessons. This early experience gave me musical roots which have allowed me to grow musically and find great joy in life through music.

 I am the mother of 2 young music-makers (ages 7 and 11).

In addition to being a Music Together^® Instructor and Licensed Music Together Center Director,  I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), Licensed Massage Therapist (#4991), Natural Therapeutics Specialist and Certified Core Synchronism Practitioner.
