From the moment she first heard a flute, she insisted on learning the instrument. Although she has a thorough background in classical music, from a very early age she was drawn to "new music" and extended techniques. She started working on Varese's Density 21.5 as soon as she could hit the high "d"s," and has specialized in performing the newest music available. While at Northwestern, Elise Ross (voice), Daniel Stepner (violin), Peter Takacs (piano) and she formed a new music improvisatory group which was very active. She has continued to pursue extended techniques, broadening the scope to include recording techniques and electronic processing.
