music in 1994. In 1997 she moved to Austin, where she found

with a variety of Irish fiddlers from various regions, including
Seamus
Connolly, Kevin
Burke, Ben Lennon, Paul O'Shaughnessy, and Matt Cranitch,

She has been performing with various Celtic acts in
Texas since 1998, has been the music and dance coordinator
