I’ve played the harp since 1990. My first harp teacher was the late Dorothy Place Barrows.  She sent me to the summer harp colony in Camden, Maine, where I took lessons from Alice Chalifoux and debated about whether to change my hand position. I decided not to, so I went to Tufts University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in music. At Tufts, I continued harp with Mary Jane Rupert, and in classes I studied composition and world music, giving me a varied background including many influences from ethnic traditions to modernist minimalism. 

  I continue to explore the harp through workshops given by expert, innovative and well known harp players, as well as pursue new musical ideas.

  I’m a member of the American Harp Society as well as the International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsman.

  I have performed at Fall River First Night, New Bedford AHA! Night, The Irish Connections Festival, as well as for weddings and cocktail parties.

  You did a beautiful selection of songs.  The guests loved the harp and all of the music.  This made for such a nice atmosphere.
