Self employed freelance cellist and private music teacher residing in Charlottetown, PEI. I perform regularly with the PEI Symphony Orchestra as well as Symphony New Brunswick and Symphony Nova Scotia. Fortunate enough to also be a founding member of the Atlantic String Machine, a genre jumping classical crossover string quintet in Charlottetown. Spend a lot of my time also accompanying singer songwriters, including Catherine MacLellan, Rachel Beck and Tara MacLean.

She is a founding member of Atlantic String Machine, a genre jumping string quintet based in Charlottetown, PEI, but is also active as a composer, orchestrator and arranger.
