About me

I am a Chicago-based music teacher and performer of 10 years. I completed my undergraduate degree in Viola Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in 2018, and completed my graduate degree from DePaul University in 2024.

As an undergraduate student, I began working with private lesson students and collaborating with programs around the city of Chicago to bring music education to students in Chicago Public Schools.

In 2022, I became a certified Suzuki teacher and have since completed training at the Memphis Suzuki Institute, Southern Ontario Suzuki Institute, and the American Suzuki Institute.

“Every Child Can,” a core belief of Suzuki teaching, proclaims that musical talent is not an innate trait, but a learned skill which all human beings are capable of developing. This perspective has greatly influenced how I build community, motivate, and encourage students and their families. I believe that all students have endless musical potential!
