I have performed leading roles in opera and musical theater for the past thirty years, with companies including Opera San José, West Bay Opera, San Francisco Pocket Opera, Palo Alto Players and TheatreWorks.  

Favorites include the title role in Carmen, Rosina in The Barber of Seville, and Cenerentola in La Cenerentola. Musical theater roles include Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella in TheatreWorks' Into the Woods, Anna in The King and I, Eliza in My Fair Lady and the Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music. I won a DramaLogue award for my portrayal of Marian the Librarian in The Music Man. I was nominated for a Bay Area Theater Critic’s Circle award for my portrayal of Mrs. Van Daan in the Diary of Anne Frank at Palo Alto Players.

I produce a yearly chamber music concert in my Los Altos Hills home, Music in the Hills. Past concerts have celebrated female composers, French music and unique works by Jewish composers.

I am on the board of Palo Alto Players and am an active CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for foster youth in Santa Clara County. I love to garden and cook with my husband Richard and hike with our dog Beanie.
