About

I’ve spent the last fifteen years performing and teaching across the Pacific Northwest — from cathedral recitals and chamber series to garden weddings and living-room lessons.

My playing is rooted in the classical tradition, but I love crossing into folk, jazz, and contemporary music. That range is exactly what I bring to teaching: technique that holds up under any repertoire, and the freedom to play the music you actually love.

Training

I studied violin performance at the conservatory level and have continued with master classes and chamber residencies ever since. I hold current background clearances for teaching minors.

Teaching philosophy

Every student is different. Some want to pass an exam, some want to play at their own wedding, some just want one good tune. My job is to meet you where you are and build real, durable skill — at a pace that keeps it joyful.
