She loves planning all the music for Emmanuel and working with the Emmanuel Choir, but also stays busy as the Assistant Director and Pianist for the Chester River Chorale, including directing their a cappella ensemble River Voices. Her degree in piano performance led to several accolades including a performance of the Grieg Piano Concerto with the Willamette Falls Symphony, and she holds a Masters degree in Music as well as a Graduate Certificate in Bible. She has led seven international choir tours, worked with school choirs and bands, and her church experience includes a position as the Creative Arts Director for a large metropolitan church. She is a composer as well, and is thrilled to be part of such a vibrant arts community.
