Music has always been the biggest part of my life. I began studying violin at four years old and spent fourteen years in Suzuki training, including thirteen years studying under world-renowned Suzuki educator Ronda Cole, before continuing into advanced performance studies, serving as Concertmaster of the American Youth Philharmonic, participating in intensive international programs and winning numerous competitions.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to perform at venues such as the Kennedy Center and Strathmore, study with internationally recognized musicians and educators, and grow as both a performer and teacher. But what has always meant the most to me is the connection music creates—the confidence it builds, the friendships it inspires, and the way it helps students grow not only as musicians, but as people.

Teaching has been one of the greatest joys of my life for more than 16 years. I've worked with students of all ages and experience levels, from young beginners discovering music for the very first time to dedicated musicians preparing for youth orchestra auditions, leadership positions, and college or conservatory auditions.

Every student is different, so every lesson is built around their individual goals, learning style, personality, and pace. My goal is to create lessons that are both encouraging and challenging—building strong technical skills while helping students develop confidence, discipline, creativity, and a genuine love of music.

Above all, I want my studio to be a place where students feel supported, inspired, and excited to learn, while feeling comfortable asking questions. Watching students discover what they're capable of is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and I feel incredibly grateful to be part of their musical journey.
