Montreal-based musician, active as a pianist, vocalist, arranger, as well as composer and teacher (Cégep de Sainte-Foy). She received a Masters in Jazz Composition from McGill University. Accompanied by Joel Kerr on bass and Eric Thibodeau on drums, the composer performs a variety of instrumental and vocal original compositions.

Her other projects include Takk, a genre-bending jazz-pop-rock trio with drummer/singer Charlotte Cornfield and saxophonist Averil Parker.
