Artistic Director and Violist

​Organization: Gold Coast Chamber Players

Age: Young 60’s

​Secret to Success: Passion and tenacity

Greatest role model: My mother who created an artistic environment for us

My Idea of fun in Lamorinda:  Great music (shameless plug for my concert series) and now a thriving foodie scene. Love the trail and the reservoir.

Best Advice: Don't assume Lafayette is a sleepy little town in the burbs. You can find an amazing number of great and interesting people here. 

What I dream of: Warm nights in my backyard with my husband and friends with some good wine... and maybe something roaring in my fire pit. I love hearing the owls at this time of year. When it warms up more, we'll be into coyotes and the neighborhood skunk.

What's next for me: My latest venture is a series of short pop up music experiences. It's a fun way to give back to my community.
