Biography

I am a pianist, music teacher, and music director. I am also a Music Therapist-in-Training, studying at Lesley University. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching Music (K-12) from Manhattanville College. I was a stay-at-home mom from 1998 to 2010. Since then I have worked freelance as a private school accompanist, substitute teacher, and music director. In September 2018 I served as Music Director for "Urinetown," produced by the Ridgefield Theater Barn (RTB) in Ridgefield, CT (non equity). I am also Music Director for the RTB's "Piano Bar...n" cabaret-style open mic event. In July 2019, I MD'd a cabaret fundraiser. Also in July 2019, I began a dual master's program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Music Therapy. I am looking forward to discovering ways we can connect the professional music & theater communities with the music therapy & expressive therapies communities.
