My teaching philosophy is to always continue moving forward. Let's stay focused and do the best we can, but never dwell on one thing for too long!

I've loved music ever since I was a little girl! I graduated from William Jessup University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, concentrating on worship leading and vocal performance.

My best students were my band mates in In An Airplane who learned octatonic scales, modes, freetime, atonality and poly rhythm during our goings on. Read More
