I am an outgoing, creative, and passionate individual seeking to advance and utilize the arts, education, and culture, mainly to ameliorate the issues facing disadvantaged communities.

As an educator, I am flexible, patient, positive and fun-loving, and strive to engage each and every student. I want each student to move at a pace that is comfortable for them, and want to ensure that there are no learning gaps or plateaus in understanding of content before encouraging a student to move on. I love when a student leaves a lesson with a smile on their face and when they are truly having fun with music- I know I did my job well. Read More

My typical process for working with a new student is to begin with the end in mind. According to the particular needs and expectations of the student, we discuss attainable and measurable goals for a given period of time.

I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More
