    Welcome to my webpages. Here you can read about my work as a flutist, researcher, and writer and find links to recordings, videos and publications.

    Current projects are centered around creating, performing, and writing about musical responses to place through developing dialogues between music, sounds, and environments, reflexivity and transformative awareness.
