I love to teach, play trumpet, and coach chamber music. I am the first woman to earn a trumpet performance doctorate from Indiana University. Awards received include Fulbright Scholarship to Norway, Emmy Award from NATAS for music composed and performed, and clinician for Bach-Selmer.
I have performed in Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. Uniquely, I sound the Lur (Nordic Wooden Trumpet) as cultural presenter in the US and abroad.

Nordic heritage fun facts
I have had an audience with HRH (His Royal Highness) King Harald of Norway at the Royal Palace - he was the Crown Prince at the time of our visit. My mother and father were with me, and the audience centered on World War II Veteran, Olaf Haaland, my father, who was a member of the 99th Infantry Battalion Separate, a Special Forces Norwegian American Ski Troup who was the Honor Guard for HRH King Haakon when he returned from exile to Norway after World War II.
I have sounded Fanfares on the LUR for H.R.H. (Her Royal Highness) Queen Sonja of Norway at Lillehammer's open-air museum, Maihaugen, when she arrived by motorcade to cut the ribbon on her childhood home, which had been moved to this historical museum.
As trumpet soloist and chamber musician, I have performed with Halcyon Trio Oregon in the concert hall at Trollhaugen, home of Edvard Grieg near Bergen, Norway.
Would you have guessed I am of Norwegian ancestry? Family roots come from both southwest and northern Norway. I also have Irish heritage and plan a visit to Scotland and Ireland with family soon. I have been to Norway many, many times and I love it there!
