Bio
I joined the TSO in 2005, after I first moved down to Florida for graduate school at FSU. I am a true New Englander at heart, and did my undergraduate degree at UMass, Amherst. Currently, I am the flute professor at Valdosta State University, play principal flute with the VSO and Albany Symphony, and piccolo with PSO and NFSO.
Fun Facts
How did you choose your instrument?
My mother played the flute. Her father came home one day with it randomly. When I told my parents that I wanted to play the harp, they looked up the price and my mother told me that after doing some research she discovered that most harpists master the flute first. Her flute was passed on to me and the rest is history. I did fall in love with the flute, although I never did get that harp….
Are there other musicians in your family?
My father plays the guitar, self taught. When he retired from the floor covering business last year he decided it was time to start taking lessons. He performs in open mic events all around Connecticut, and might start taking on some gigs!
