She performs regularly with Pacific Baroque Orchestra and has appeared as concerto soloist with the Okanagan Symphony, the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra, and the Arizona State University Chamber Orchestra. She participated in the Britten-Pears Programme led by Andreas Scholl and Tamar Halperin, for which she was awarded the Loewen Prize, and is also active as a workshop and masterclass leader, giving presentations at the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute, Canada’s National Music Centre, and Wilfrid Laurier University.   Funded by a generous grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, she pursued historical keyboard studies in Europe with Francesco Cera, François Espinasse, and Bernard Winsemius. She obtained a Master’s Degree in Organ Performance from Arizona State University under the direction of Kimberly Marshall and an Advanced Certificate in Harpsichord Performance from the University of Toronto, where she studied with Charlotte Nediger. She is now a doctoral candidate in musicology at the University of British Columbia.
