Tuning on stage at the Centennial Concert Hall for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
I really enjoyed my time playing orchestral piano for the WSO for a few years - that's me at the piano!
In 2025, I began work at University of Manitoba's Desautels Faculty of Music, caring for their 35 practice pianos.
Together, Stan Kroeker and I look after the 90+ pianos at the University of Manitoba.

My husband and I teamed up to convert this late 19th Century family heirloom piano into a desk for a client.
Such a beautiful final product after many hours spent tearing down, refinishing and polishing.
The lid can fold back if the candles are in use.
We changed out part of the original lid with the fallboard so that the original brass lettering stating the piano make (A Bord), location (Paris) and date (1878) could remain.
Another piano-to-desk conversion I was part of for a client. This was before deconstruction.
The final product was a majestic and impressive desk!
This piano was a wedding gift for my 90-year-old client's great grandparents in 1875 but it had a cracked plate and needed major restoration work..
The client was so pleased with the result. On this conversion, it worked best to keep the fallboard separate but gave it back to the client so they can display it on top if they desire.
