Hello! I am a professional violinist, teacher, and orchestra director based in the Boston area. I have performed in over 7 countries and studied with violinists from Oberlin and Eastman Conservatories, as well as the San Francisco Symphony and Oberlin Conservatory. I believe that music is first and foremost a wonderful form of self-expression and an escape from the busy lives we all lead. In my experience teaching young children, as well as in my own life, music education provides the perfect environment to learn the most important life skills. Imagination, curiosity, self-discipline, and a love of learning are at the forefront of my violin curriculum.

In my experience teaching young children, as well as in my own life, music education provides the perfect environment to learn the most important life skills. Imagination, curiosity, self-discipline, and a love of learning are at the forefront of my violin curriculum. I enjoy working with students of all ages and prefer to fully tailor my curriculum and lesson plans to the individual student, how they learn, and how they enjoy learning. I have worked with students aged 3 to 21 both in my own business, and with the Peer Teaching Program at Oberlin Conservatory. I have performed in San Francisco, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia as a first violinist with the El Camino Youth Symphony. I have also competed and participated in the Pedagogy Masterclass Series at the Semper International Music Festival. My experiences as a private tutor in math and college writing have also influenced my music pedagogy as well as my skills in lesson development. Besides teaching and playing the violin, I love cooking and baking with my friends, reading outside in the summer, and playing with my cat Jodha.
