I have performed in many master classes and have received instruction from amazing performers around the world including Dr. Linda Wang, Harumi Rhodes, Daniel Sweaney, and many others. My studies have been enhanced through performances with numerous orchestras, chamber groups, and baroque ensembles both in the states and abroad. I have performance experience in Classical and Baroque styles as well as alternative styles (jazz, blue grass, improvisation). I believe that studying broadly has given me a well-rounded look at music to pass to my students and I encourage students to explore what inspires them. As much as I love performing, my heart is in teaching.
