In addition to teaching, I maintain an active performing career as organist at First United Church of Oak Park, organist for the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest, and choral accompanist in the Oak Park area. I love surprising people with the many different sounds that organ pipes can create. Musical sound has been my passion since I was very young and teaching at AU gives me the opportunity to share that passion with students.
