What instrument(s) do you play? When did you start playing? |
I’ve played French horn since I was 10 years old. |
What brought you to Rochester and how did you become involved with The Rochester Pops Orchestra? |
I moved back to the area after college to start my nursing career at Mayo Clinic. I was involved in my university band and orchestra throughout my undergrad years, and I missed playing in an ensemble once I started working. A high school friend notified me of an opening for 3rd Horn, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of RPO! |

I love Romantic era orchestra music and film scores. |
What inspires you to play? |
My family has always been very supportive of my music and I love the feeling of playing with fellow musicians. |
What is your favorite piece/concert that The Rochester Pops has played? |
I loved Jurassic Park. |
What do you do in your free time? (ie hobbies) |
I love walking my dog, boating in the summer, reading, and cooking! I bought a house this last year, so I’ve been keeping busy with projects around the house and yard as well. |
