She is one of the main critics and feature writers for the influential London-based magazine Opera Now (U.K) and also contributes to the Berlin-based Opera Orpheus International (Germany). Her writings have taken her to more than 300 opera houses around the world, and she is listed in six Who's Who, including Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, and Who's Who of American Women.
