She has composed in a wide variety of musical forms and styles including both traditional and contemporary for solo, small ensemble, full orchestra, and choir. In addition to her compositions, she performs regularly as a freelance violinist, pianist, harpsichordist, and organist in Texas, Switzerland, Virginia, Colorado, Washington, D.C., and Germany. She has served as principal violist of the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra in Virginia, the American Symphony Orchestra League Institute Chamber Orchestra, and the Wandesbek Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg, Germany, as well as the pianist or violist of an additional ten orchestras across the globe. Her travels as a performer and composer have taken her around the world, literally from east to west, as a pianist on a cruise ship. As artistic director of ?Hello Symphony? she developed an award-winning educational enrichment program for which she composed many works.
