I am a Viola Performance Major at the Cleveland Institute of Music and have studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as well as the Colburn School. I have been playing Viola since the age of 8 and will be pursuing my career indefinitely. I have taught children and adults of all ages and have enjoyed every moment as a tutor/mentor. I have had the greatest opportunity to work with some of the best musicians in this world including Helen Callus, Mark Jackobs, Jeffery Irvine, Maxim Eshkenazy, Joann Faletta, Maia Jasper, and Cara Pogossian as well as others. I have performed across the world in venues including the Mozartaeum, Carnegie Hall, Ambassador Auditorium, Severance Hall, Maltz Performing Arts Center, Zipper Hall, Thayer Hall, Bing Theater, and in cathedrals across Europe.
I have taught online since the beginning of the pandemic and have found great techniques and strategies for getting around that barrier. I have also had experience teaching in person since 2017. Teaching has been and will be a great passion of mine as I continue my own journey of growth and exploration, and I hope to inspire the same in all my students just like my teachers and mentors have done for me.
