She began piano at an early age and later the Irish/Celtic harp. She studied under Lucile Lawrence at Boston University Tanglewood Institute; received her BMus in Harp Performance, minor in music theory, cum laude, under Ellen Ritscher and her MMus in Harp Performance with related field in musicology, magma cum laude, under Dr. Jaymee Haefner from University North Texas. Her Irish/Celtic harp instructors include Grainne Hambly, Michael Rooney, Michelle Mulcahy, Allison Kinnard, and Kim Robertson. She performed classical harp with symphonies in America, Europe and Asia; and has given concerts and workshops at leading Irish festivals and Irish music retreats. With a focused passion for teaching, she delights in nurturing each student’s unique potential upon the harp.

Testimonials

Former Student

Well worth the travel time and money spent - I learned more about why Irish music sounds the way it does in three days than I ever knew before. Now I have a 'gold standard' to use as I develop my own performing skills with that style of music.
