I have been teaching children and adults how to play the harp for over 20 years. As a teenager, I was given the opportunity to be a guest teacher in another harpist’s studio and from there went on to open my own private studio in Salt Lake City. I love my students and the opportunity I have to share in their lives as they pursue music. My students have had many wonderful performing opportunities including performances at the World Harp Congress and the American Harp Society Summer Institute. They have also performed in the pedagogy training course at Brigham Young University. Former students have continued their studies at Brigham Young University, the New England Conservatory and Carnegie Mellon University, among others.

I began my own study of the harp at age nine with ShruDeLi Ownbey. In college, I continued my harp studies as I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Marketing at the University of Utah. I have traveled through the United States, studying with a variety of teachers, including the late Carrol McLaughlin, Susann McDonald and Linda Wood Rollo. I have performed for the American Harp Society Summer Institute and was part of a multi-harp performance for the grand opening of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

In 2018, I relocated to the Boise area with my family. I have had the oppportunity to play with the Boise Baroque Chamber Orchestra, the Meridian Symphony Orchestra, the Treasure Valley Millenial Choir and Orchestra and the Canyon County Orchestra. I am the founder of the Treasure Valley Harp Trio and the Treasure Valley Harp Festival. I have five musical daughters, three of which are harpists.
