In 2008 she was a participant of the prestigious Yale Cabaret Conference, and the current President of the Twin Cities Jazz Society.

In 2010 she recorded and released her second EP, In the Key of “L”, with several members of the renowned Twin Cities Hot Club. The CD has enjoyed regular radio play both locally and at a number of jazz stations around the country, and has received wonderful reviews by local and national reviewers, including LA Jazz Scene Magazine, and by our own Leigh Kammen former host of The Jazz Image™ on MPR. In the fall of 2011 she teamed up once again with these great musicians to record “A Hot Christmas” which was released December 1st and again received airplay and reviews.
