Coming from a classical flute background, she has studied with flutists from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. She has played professionally for opera and ballet and as a session musician. She is a founding memeber of the classical group, Lyric Ensemble Houston which performs at the Children’s Museum, private functions, and exhibits.

Her typical students range from beginners to intermediate level (children and adults). Previous students have achieved high levels within scholastic music organizations, such as the Royal Schools of Music.
