In her own words:
"Genre-flexible musician loosely focussed on contemporary classical music and free improvisation. Lover of many folk and world music traditions. Composer. Queer, feminist. Lover of animals, nature, moving around, good food and good friends. Improviser, composer, searcher, teacher, small activist, creator. I like to think my job in this world is to make it better with art, music specifically, by bringing it to people who would benefit from it, make more of it."
