Her interests include seit and céilí dancing, sean nós singing in the Irish language (for which she placed second at the 1994 Mid Atlantic Fleadh Cheoil) and performing with the Binghamton, N.Y.-based traditional Irish group, The Hylands. She has performed on RTÉ’s popular radio show, “Céilí House.”
