Along with being the music and founding artistic
director of Vox Caelestis, a professional women's chorus, I have coached
and conducted all levels of other choirs in rehearsal and
performance. As part of my work with Vox Caelestis, I initiated and
helped launch a successful annual scholarship program to benefit high
school senior women pursuing music degrees in college. I have also
taught vocal jazz at Lyons Township High School in LaGrange, IL, as well
as led classes in choral writing at Chicago College of Performing Arts
at Roosevelt University.
