I am currently earning my Master's degree in Violin Performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the conservatory, where it is my job to teach a full length weekly class to undergraduate students supplementing core curriculum music history lectures. In addition to this, I tutor students weekly in historical content, essay writing, and linguistic skills. As an avid learner of anything and everything, I am passionate about teaching and tutoring in a variety of subjects. One on one tutoring sessions allow for a special and personally curated learning experience. I am excited to learn with you and from you!

I have taken 8 years of Spanish classes. I completed Spanish 1-4 in high school, as well as many advanced Spanish courses at CU Boulder, all of which I earned an A in. In addition, I lived in a multilingual household for two years with a native Spanish speaker that created an immersive language learning environment. I am dedicated to continuing to learn this special language and provide instruction at a beginning level.

I often feel most comfortable when I am writing and reading. I earned perfect 5 scores on the official AP Language and AP Literature tests in high school, as well as top marks in the reading and writing ACT portions. Throughout college and into graduate school, I have enrolled in courses that require intensive reading, comprehension, and writing skills. Most recently, I completed an extensive graduate research essay that explores the lives of Jewish musicians in World War II France. In addition to research based and academic writing, I also enjoy creatively expressing myself through this medium. I recently completed a semester long course working closely with Joshua Kosman, head classical music critic at the San Francisco Chronicle, where I received weekly personal feedback and instruction, also earning top marks.

The violin has been an integral part of my life ever since I had my first lesson at 6 years old. I attended CU Boulder College of
