About
I'm passionate about making personal connections and achieving excellence in my work. I think it's important for a teacher to have firsthand experience and real world connections. I strive to tailor lessons to the individual student and develop a lesson plan that is tailored to the student's needs.

What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with small children up to elderly students in their 80’s. My students have been beginners through professionals. I have helped students get into prestigious collegiate programs such as Indiana University and Carnegie Mellon and obtain jobs in the industry. One of my students got a lead role in Disney channel movie from their first audition ever!
