I am a classically trained violist and string instrument enthusiast, born and raised in the Chicagoland area. I attended and graduated from Western Michigan University with a BM in music performance and have performed worldwide for both classical and early music audiences. During my undergrad, I studied viola with Igor Fedotov at WMU and viola da gamba as a credited independent study with Enid Sutherland at the University of Michigan. My musical tastes however extend much further to R&B, pop, jazz, alternative rock, and countless other genres. I currently work as a freelance musician and string teacher in north county San Diego. I have taught orchestra at Double Peak School and was the orchestra and band director at Calavera Hills Middle School. I was the resident violist of the San Diego based Zene Strings quartet and sat principal violist of the San Diego Music Coterie. Professional performance experience includes the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra, The Moscow Ballet, Early Music Michigan, the West Michigan Opera Project and more. I have over 20 years of music experience and have been teaching privately since 2015.
