B i o g r a p h y

Hello! I'm a harpist and psychotherapist. I fell in love with the harp at a young age and began studying the harp in Rochester, NY when I was 8 years old. Throughout high school and college, I performed as a soloist at weddings and community events and played with the Rochester, NY Area Harp Ensemble for 5 years. 

 

I studied harp at the University of Buffalo and The University of Toronto, playing solo music, and playing with orchestras and ensembles to develop a tension-free and expressive technique of playing the harp. I greatly enjoy creating meaningful musical experiences for others, whether it be performing as a soloist at weddings, retirement homes, holiday events, restaurants or local ensembles.

I currently reside in Georgetown, Texas and am the Principal Harpist with the Williamson County Symphony Orchestra. I also play as a Guest Harpist with other local orchestras, bands and ensembles. I am available to play for 
events such as receptions, banquets, church services and other social events in Georgetown, TX and surrounding cities. I am also often available to play with central Texas orchestras, bands and ensembles as a guest musician. 

 

As a harp teacher, I have a unique skill set as both a therapist and harpist to help students develop their musicianship and harp technique with a compassionate approach. I value teaching mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help students with performance anxiety. I guide students to learn to express themselves through the harp and learn to play the music that most moves and inspires them, whether it be classical or contemporary pieces.
