I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of music with specific knowledge in the areas of composition and theory, church music and conducting. I have published on such topics as contemporary issues in church music, the effects of music upon the human body and the art of composing. I have testified 25 times on topics such as contemporary issues in church music, the effects of music upon the human body and the art of composing. My work has afforded me the opportunity to travel the world and to be a Fulbright scholar to study the role of women and music in Turkey.
