Performing Arts

Performing arts

Performing arts is a gold mine of opportunity for education and learning to become something bigger than yourself. I love the experiences and opportunities that arts bring to others which is why I love to work with performing arts organizations. I am an organizer and artist at heart so my background in arts administration and communication allow me to help you communicate your story, need and reputation to your audience.

Musician | French Horn

Growing up and through school I learned to play the French horn. Today I still play for the Ohio Northern University wind orchestra and symphony as a ringer and in community musical productions upon request. The trumpet player in Wind Orchestra at Ohio Northern University caught my eye. To this day my husband CJ and I typically get gigs together and enjoy contributing to community theatre productions.

Suessical, Little Women, Sweeney Todd
Pines of Rome, Ottorino Respighi; Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Beethoven; Carmen Suite No. 2, Bizet; Ghosts of the Grasslands, Heitzeg; Hebrides Overture, Mendelssohn; Symphony No. 4, Tchaikovsky
