I believe teachers and students are partners in the learning process. We'll work together in lessons to create an environment where you can experiment and discover new ideas. My goal as a teacher is to help you develop the skills to choose your own musical ideas as I provide a variety of musical suggestions, technical guidance, memorization tools, and approaches to learning.

Teachers not only prepare and inspire students to share the tradition of music with their own generation, but they also serve as mentors that shape students’ work ethics, self-esteem, and life trajectory. I want my students to achieve beauty in their music, and to find satisfaction as their efforts bring personal growth and confidence. My harp teachers have been an incredibly positive influence in my life, and I want to be that influence for someone else.
