Some of her favorite roles include Meredith (Batboy-SWIC), Rona (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee-Looking Glass Playhouse), Golde (Fiddler on the Roof - Curtains Up & Clinton County Showcase), Vicki (The Full Monty-Looking Glass Playhouse), and Emma (Jekyll and Hyde- Looking Glass Playhouse). She is also a proud member of the "Divine Divas", having performed in The Sound of Music at The Muny in St. Louis. Her favorite role, however, is being a teacher, where she encourages her 6-8th grade students to love reading and writing. "They inspire me every day...and are a great captive audience!"

She has performed with Ethan Edwards and Neal Richardson in "High Hopes" cabaret at the Belleville Philharmonic as well as The Bistro at Grand Center in St. Louis.
