About
I've been learning and performing music for the last 10 years. I am currently in college studying to become a music teacher. I've performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall as well as studied under Ben Bram (Multi-Grammy Winning Producer of Pentatonix), Eric Whitacre (Grammy Winning Choral Composer), Various collegiate professors from around the country, and more. I strive to help students learn the concepts and the emotion of music.
I am a deep lover of art and believe that everyone should have some form of it in their lives. My artistic passion comes in the form of music. I find great joy in helping others to learn the art form and find their passion. I believe music has the power to change the world, and I want to help it do so.

How did you get started teaching?
In my Junior Year of high school, I was given the honor to be the choral director of our high school musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. I took the task to heart and fell in love with it. I was able to help so many grow and in the end, put on a high-quality show.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure to find teachers with proper growth mindsets. The teacher should not make students feel bad for being wrong but should encourage them to grow and learn from their mistakes.
