Teaching and sharing music is my passion. I am a performer, graduating with a degree in Cello Performance from Oberlin Conservatory of Music in 2011. During my time at Oberlin, I performed across the country and even in Europe, but I was always able to come home to my students that I taught throughout my degree. I have experience working in the international sector of music performance, coming together with musicians from around the world to put together chamber music ensembles. Read More

I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, and of course valuable for the student's progression. Read More
