Drinks coffee.

Likes dogs, cats, and hedgehogs.

Plays violin.

Neurocomplex.

Huge fan of my ‘mathlete’ husband and neurodiverse kids.

I’ve spent most of my life navigating the typical ways to study violin and undergo the human experience…

I’m finding the beauty in doing things differently these days.

My core values as an artist combine a deep understanding of artistic excellence - experience as a performer and pedagogue - and intuitive collaboration skills to create transformational connections through music. I specialize in coaching and partnering with high performing and neurocomplex artists. 

Suzuki trained and certified. Violin Technique Coach training in progress.

Principal teachers include Mark Zinger and Richard Luby. Masterclasses and training with Ilya Kaler, Rachel Barton Pine, Sally O'Reilly, and Edward Kreitman.
