Hello!  I am currently getting my masters at NEC but I love to teach as well.  My main instrument is the viola but I also teach violin.  I started playing the violin at age 10 and switched my focus to viola in 2004.  The majority of my life has been devoted to seeking the best musical education with the goal of becoming a strong violist.  My training is classical but lately I have been branching out to jazz and improvisation.  The sitar is also an instrument that I love and play in my free time.

I am a hard-working, passionate, and optimistic instructor who enjoys working with people interested in learning how to play the violin or the viola. I recently graduated with my Master's Degree in Violin Performance from Boston Conservatory, where I also took classes in pedigogy and restructured my teaching style. I have had numerous solo opportunities and worked with several fine violin teachers around the country, at music festivals and schools. I hope to extend the knowledge that I have gained from my years of musical education to my students.
