She currently serves on the board of Intermountain Suzuki String Institute and, in addition to her studio, codirects the Amichevoli Cello Choir with Kelly McConkie Stewart and maintains an active performing career, appearing with such groups as the Utah Symphony, Sinfonia Salt Lake, The Orchestra at Temple Square, and others.
