My teaching experience began when I was a senior in high-school My sister had taught a few students in our neighborhood and asked me to take on her students when she moved away to attend college. I gladly did and discovered my love and passion for teaching. I taught consistently from 2003-2005 in Gilroy, until I attended Fresno Pacific University. I took a brief hiatus from teaching to focus on my own studies, but began teaching again in 2008-2011. Read More

I am from a family of musicians. As a child I performed all over California. As an adult I still perform and teach piano, composition, and voice.

I am an accomplished composer, pianist and vocalist. As a piano student I was asked directly into the piano Masters program at California State University Fresno thus bypassing the bachelor studies.

I started teaching piano in other people's homes soon after I became a student at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, CA.

By the time I went to Fresno State, I wasn't able to teach nearly as much, and probably needed teaching, myself! Read More
