WEDDING & EVENT HARPIST
THE HARPIST
GET TO KNOW
Since childhood, I was entranced by the harp and knew it was my calling. I was 10 years old when I began my classical harp training. During my adolescent years, I performed in various orchestra concerts, harp festivals, funerals, church worship services, ensemble performances, and more.
​
Through scholarship, I studied Harp at Southern Virginia University and earned the Principle Harpist position in the university's orchestra and in The Rockbridge Symphony.
Since college, I have performed in countless concerts, ensembles, banquets, charity events, and weddings. Throughout my harp experience, I have had the privilege to perform with world-renowned figures such as Julie Gaisford Keyes, Dr. Carrol McLaughlin, Dr. Mack Wilberg, and Dr. Craig Jessop, to name a few.
I now reside with my husband in Memphis, Tennessee. When I am not playing the harp, I enjoy reading, yoga, photography, baking delicious desserts, spending time in nature, and traveling.
