My Work

I love to educate, write, and tell interesting stories. See some of the ways I’ve done that in the following samples of my work.

Online Courses

Since beginning work at Virtuous, I’ve been responsible for planning and executing several new product courses. While I worked with teammates, I handled the bulk of the curriculum design, script writing, interactive exercise creation, and video editing for all courses:

• Responsive Fundraising: Level 2 (This is my baby! I planned and built this entire course myself.)

• Virtuous Momentum (Same here. First product academy designed and developed solely by me, with an increased emphasis on interactive exercises.)

• Virtuous Analytics

• Virtuous Raise

• Virtuous Volunteer

Writing

Here is some of my musicological research and writing that’s out in the world.

• Hot off the presses! My essay about the friendship album Clara and Robert Schumann created for Emilie Steffens, in Clara and Robert Schumann in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2025).

• “Memory and Commemoration in Robert Schumann’s Album Leaves,” PhD diss. (Indiana University, 2019).

• “Hearing the ‘Töne eines Passionsliedes’ in J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio: The Nineteenth-Century Critical Reception of BWV 248,” Bach: Journal of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute of Baldwin Wallace University 45, no. 2 (2014): 34–67. I won an award from the American Bach Society for this one!

• Program notes – William Bolcom’s A View from the Bridge – Indiana University Opera and Ballet Theater

Public Speaking

I love lecturing and speaking to audiences of all kinds. As part of my job at the Curtis Institute of Music, I regularly researched, wrote, memorized, and presented introductions at student recitals.

• Curtis Institute of Music – November 29, 2021 – Introduction to Franz Schubert’s Winterreise

Conference Presentations

Though it’s been awhile, I’ve presented quite a few papers at conferences.
