Career
Fox studied percussion with James Peterscak at the Crane School of Music, State University of New York at Potsdam. There she received her Bachelor of Music in music education and Master of Music in solo performance - percussion. She later went on for post graduate studies in solo performance with J.B. Smith and Mark Sunkett at Arizona State University. While at Arizona State University she began working with the Dept. of Dance as a composer and accompanist for movement works.

Her creative and educational works have been supported through funding from American Composers Forum,[1] National Endowment for the Arts, Kennedy Center Partners in Education, Arts International, Rockefeller Foundation, Fulbright-Hays, Doris Duke Foundation, NYSCA, NYFA, Target Foundation, The Walt Disney Company and the Kauffman Foundation. Her works have been experienced in numerous venues including Tang Museum,[2] National Museum of Dance, American Dance Festival, Second Life, Smithsonian Institution, Université de Paris, Skopje Summer Festival Macedonia, Belarus Philharmonic, Olympolis Art Project Greece, Gifu Arts Center - Japan and Judson Church - NYC.
