After attending the Boston Conservatory, I moved back to California in 2010 where I began performing in orchestras such as the Palisades Symphony, Brentwood-Westwood Symphony, Dream Orchestra, American Youth Symphony, and Los Angeles Flute Orchestra. I have participated in and won numerous competitions in California such as the Kiwanis Club Solo Competition, the Junior Bach Festival,  and the Bay Women's Club of Santa Monica Scholarship Competition.

I incorporate method books into all of my lessons, as well as any technique books that are appropriate for each specific student. The method books that I begin with are Essential Elements, the I Recommend series, Standard of Excellence, and Tradition of Excellence. The technique books depend on the specific instrument and ability level. I feel that it is very important to get every student playing actual sheet music as soon as possible, regardless of skill level. Read More

Your destination guides my lesson plan and the theory, tone exercises and all that jazz help to get us there smoothly. Read More
