A little about me

I’m a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance from Western Washington University. I began studying piano at age four with my dad, and later continued my training with teachers in Chicago and Seattle.

I enjoy a wide range of repertoire, with particular love for composers such as Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy, as well as exploring modern and contemporary works. Alongside solo performance, I regularly work as a collaborative pianist with instrumentalists and singers, and have performed in pit orchestras for local theatre productions including Legally Blonde and Holiday Inn.

Teaching is an important part of my musical life, and I enjoy helping students of all ages become well-rounded, confident musicians who can connect deeply with the music they play. While at WWU, I collaborated extensively with string players, vocalists, and ensembles such as the New Music Ensemble, studying with Milica Jelaca Jovanovic, Jeffrey Gilliam, and Kay Zavislak. I currently teach piano lessons in Bellingham, WA and online.
