Collaboration is at the heart of being a cellist. Through performing with pianists, chamber ensembles, and orchestras, I have learned the value of listening, communication, and connection—qualities that also shape my approach to teaching. I enjoy working with different types of students, from beginners of all ages discovering the joy of music for the first time, to young talents building a strong foundation in preparation for challenging goals, auditions, and competitions.

I believe in the power of music to enrich one’s life, and I value the individuality and unique strengths that each student brings. Music creates meaningful experiences, and I love helping my students find comfort, growth, and satisfaction throughout their musical journeys, just as my own teachers have guided and inspired me.
