About

Students come to me to develop a skill and leave with a sense of confidence and purpose. My mission is to empower students to reach their goals through the pursuit of musical excellence. Whether they are starting violin for the first time, honing their abilities, or preparing for a career in music, I work with each student to develop the skills needed for success. In lessons we lay a solid technical foundation through a combination of scales, exercises, and etudes. We build musicianship skills and healthy practice habits through studying great pieces, from Suzuki books and popular songs to the famous violin concerti. I believe excellence empowers. Through violin lessons with me, I invite students to pursue excellence in violin-playing and see how it transforms their lives. Education: - Doctor of Musical Arts in violin performance, Arizona State University (exp. 2024). Studied with Dr. Katherine McLin. - Master of Music in violin performance, ASU (2021) - Bachelor of Music in violin performance, Ithaca College (2018) Professional Roles: - Director, SOL Chamber Orchestra
