About Me
I am from Warrenville, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, where I began playing flute in the school band. I have a Bachelor of Music in flute performance and a Master of Arts in music history, both from the University of Louisville. I also pursued post-graduate flute study with Robert Cavally, the Cincinnati Symphony; Katherine Borst Jones, The Ohio State University and Walfrid Kujala, Northwestern University and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Teaching Experience
I have been the flute instructor at Mel Owen Music in St. Matthews and am now operating my own studio. I have taught flute, flute ensemble, woodwind ensemble and music history at Bellarmine University. Also, I taught music history courses at Jefferson Community and Technical College, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, and the University of Louisville. In addition to teaching, I am a free-lance musician who has performed for Louisville Chorus, Music Theatre Louisville, Derby Dinner Playhouse, and Louisville Ballet and have given numerous solo recitals throughout my career.
