About Me

I teach applied piano lessons and music theory at the University of Mary. I've had the pleasure of presenting guest masterclasses and coaching chamber music at universities and music festivals across the United States. Teaching students of all levels, from beginners to professionals, has been a rewarding journey. I'm proud to say that my students have achieved remarkable success, winning international competitions and securing spots in prestigious colleges and graduate programs. I always strive to inspire my students to cherish their passion for music, find joy in their art, and guide them toward reaching their musical goals.

Why I’m At Mary

It's an honor to be part of a community that upholds Catholic values and embraces the teachings of the Catholic Church. It's wonderful to be surrounded by faculty, staff, and students who follow the faith of God and embody the values of service, community, and compassion.

Expertise

I have featured as a soloist with orchestras including the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Munich Chamber Orchestra, Royal Chamber Orchestra of Wallonia, and Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. I have earned top prizes in ARD International Music Competition, Hilton Head International Piano Competition, Vienna International Piano Competition, and Bösendorfer International Piano Competition.
