In addition to teaching in my busy flute studio, I enjoy performing and writing about flute playing and music making. I play flute at solo recitals, concerts, weddings, and churches. I have produced many multi-musician musical events, and have performed in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and prisons. In October 2006, my studio was featured as the cover story of Flute Talk magazine. My articles about flute playing and music making have been translated into four languages and published in Japan, Australia, Sweden, Great Britain, Poland, and the Netherlands, as well as in numerous publications in the U.S. My work in the field of performance anxiety has been featured in Philadelphia Music Makers magazine, Flutewise magazine, The Flutist Quarterly, Pan (The Journal of the British Flute Society), and Fluit (The Netherlands). I write a regular column called Performance Anxiety from Inside Out for Flute Focus, a magazine distributed in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the US. This is the first and only column about performance anxiety in any flute magazine in the world.

I am a member of the National Flute Association and the British Flute Society, and I have served on the Board of Directors of the Raleigh Area Flute Association from 1996 to 2002. For several years, I was Coordinator of the Children's Program at the National Flute Association National Convention, the largest gathering of flutists in the world. I am a regular presenter at that convention, and at the Raleigh Area Flute Association Flute Fair. I gave my first international presentation in the spring of 1999 at a London Flutewise event that drew 5,000 participants. In June 2004, at the personal invitation of Sir James Galway, I spent two days observing him record his recent award-winning CD "Wings of Song" with the London Symphony Orchestra at historic Abbey Road Studios in London.
