She performs regularly on the famous Aeolian-Skinner Auditorium Organ (IV/113; 1959) and the Temple’s magnificent Casavant organ (IV/102; 1993), and oversees a staff of 30+ volunteer organists who, for 48 consecutive summers, have presented daily recitals on these two instruments. She plans and provides music for worship services, coordinates a concert series, designs and conducts international hymn festivals, teaches workshops, and serves as a resource person for church musicians and worship planners. Her degrees are Bachelor of Music Education and Master of Music (piano performance) from Kansas State University, and Doctor of Musical Arts (organ performance) from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music, where she was a student of John Obetz. She is very active in the AGO, and currently serves as Regional Councillor for Region VI.

She has appeared on regional and national musicians’ conventions, including the American Guild of Organists, the American Choral Directors’ Association, the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada, and the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians, and has been featured on Kansas Public Radio. She performs as harpsichordist and organist with Kansas City’s acclaimed Baroque group the Bach Aria Soloists and with the Kansas City Symphony.
