Noted commissions and collaborations include serving as composer-in-residence at The Vasilicos of Santorini, Greece; serving a two-year composer residency at the historic Mount Auburn Cemetery of Massachusetts; serving as composer-in-residence at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico and Marble House Project of Vermont; a multi-year partnership with the Museum of Science Boston for the “Synesthesia Suite: Live” concert series; and an ongoing partnership with French composer Christina Goh for the "Rencontres Poétiques" international poetry chamber concert series; among others. In May 2024, she finished her first full-length opera, "The Memoirs of Antonina", inspired by Marie Antoinette.
