I've instructed in a high school setting and taught college students at a beginning to intermediate level for 4 years--while teaching younger students privately at the side. I've been studying cello for 16 years. I've played in various productions for a professional opera company and served as the principal cellist for the Modesto Junior College Community Orchestra for 4 years. During my stay with the MJC Community Orchestra, I had my first debut--performing the Haydn Cello Concerto in C Major in 2015. Currently coaching with the Rose City Youth Orchestra. I currently study cello performance and pedagogy with Diane Chaplin, of the Portland Cello Project
