Current projects include a musical adaptation of the cult horror film, Teeth, and Harmony, Kansas, which tells the story of a gay men's a cappella group in rural Kansas, and is slated for a US West Coast premiere in early 2012. Her Ave Maria for SATB double choir won the 2006 US National Lutheran Choir Composition Contest.
