My training began at the age of 11 in Philadelphia USA at Settlement Music School,and continued in New York at Manhattan School of Music, the 92nd Street Y and Music and Art High School. In 1998 I received my Masters in Music Performance from the University of South Florida. My primary teachers include Katherine Hoover, Martha Rearick, Susan Glaser, and Peter Lloyd. As well, I have participated in a number of Masters Classes with among others, Julius Baker, Linda Chesis, William Montgomery, Göran Marcusson. As a professional musician I have played with a variety of chamber ensembles and orchestras in the USA and Sweden. 

​

My musical focus includes both classical flute, as well as baroque and early rennaisance music on period instruments (baroque recorder). I also play Native American flutes and Swedish wooden flutes, which are wonderful for opening the soul and mind to improvisaton and resonance with one’s surroundings.
