ABOUT

I am a freelance composer, music director, playwright and performer who loves  exploring the intersection of sound and story. For over twenty years, my artistic home  was Ten Thousand Things Theater in Minneapolis. (www.tenthousandthings.org).

Originally working with the company as an actor, I quickly transitioned to overseeing  music and sound, a role that fundamentally shaped my approach to composition and  how music can help tell a compelling story. Collaboration is the heartbeat of my  process and the thing that nourishes me as an artist. I embed myself in rehearsals from  day one, working with actors, directors and designers to ensure the music and  soundscape are integrated into the fabric of the performance. I believe in the power of  shared imagination to create experiences that invite an audience into a world where  transformation is possible. 

​

After raising three children, my husband and I now make our home on Hatteras Island in  North Carolina. Companies I’ve worked with since relocating include Playmakers  Repertory Company (Chapel Hill, NC), Delaware Shakespeare (Wilmington, DE), and  Asolo Repertory Theatre (Sarasota, FL).
