I am a passionate cellist in performance and education. I had a humble beginning on my instrument but my dedication and passion led me to receive high awards and scholarships in my undergrad and graduate programs. I have a BM in Music Performance, a BA in German Language and Culture, a Masters in Music, and am currently completing my Doctorate of Musical Arts at the University of California, Santa Barabara.I am a well rounded orchestral and chamber musician with many year of educational experience in both private and group cello lessons. My greatest strengths are my empathy and love of the teaching process. I have taught 5 year olds to 50 year olds in a variety of genres.I am fearless in the music industry. My passion leads me to endless performance opportunities and I have received an exceptional amount of funding throughout my education. My greatest passion is connecting with students on the cello and helping them develop technique, confidence, and love for their instrument.
