She has appeared as a soloist with conductors Leonard Slatkin, Joel Revzen, Nicholas Harshani and Miriam Burns.

Equally passionate as an educator, she has taught at Cameron University since 1993, where she holds the Louise D. McMahon Endowed Chair in Music. She is a 2010 recipient of Oklahoma Governor's Arts in Education Award. She studied at the North Carolina School of the Arts, The Juilliard School and holds a doctorate from Indiana University.
