She has traveled throughout the world, performing at festivals, like the Cancun Jazz Festival, the Latin American Artist Encounter in Caracas, Venezuela & Encuentro Jazz Festival in Guatemala.
"Although I have a bachelor''s degree in music & composition, I have always focused my work on jazz. I have worked as a professional jazz musician in Louisiana since 1975. In 1980, I saw a public television special on the music of Brazil. I traveled there & began collecting Brazilian music. I played in a group called Sounds of Brazil with musicians from Cuba & I also studied Cuban music. My studies of Cuban & Brazilian music have had a profound effect on my own compositions."
