Diversity is the spice of life. My client list is a wide range, from getting hired directly by corporations, to nurses & doctors, couples getting married, playing for hospital patients, in department stores, at transit centers, farm events, before city hall leaders, in historic hotels, for humanitarian non-profits, and GRAMMY winners. Over the last 20 years, I feel fortunate to have met so many people, to have collaborated on events with them, to help create an event where there wasn’t one, or one that needed help planning.

No two days have ever been the same in my work. At various times, I’m a Certified Clinical Musician, a Business Creative, Harp Instructor, Event Producer, Entrepreneur, Marketer, Performer, Poet, Consultant, Speaker, Workshop Leader, Grant Writer, Collaborator, Composer, or Recording Artist.

What has happened these past two years has seriously changed my pre-pandemic work flow. No longer am I physically visiting hospice patients. Teaching private lessons have become mostly online. After two years, small business events now seem to be on the upswing, but large corporate events where I would have played harp have ended. I’m so grateful to be teaching in person workshops at Dusty Strings again. One particular new skill I’m proud to have learned is how to record and produce a video workshop.

As I learn new skills, I feel my path is leaning toward a bend in the road, somewhere I have never been before. As a person who has diligently studied both writing and music, I thought I knew where my workplace domain was. However, as time goes on, I see that an artistic eye is a real boost for many types of businesses to have around. Where I’m going exactly is still to be determined, but I can tell you that I’m interested in blending with a wider audience. I’m looking ahead.
