Piano | Camarillo

I have been cultivating my enjoyment of music since I was a youngster sitting beneath the piano bench listening to my siblings playing “Hot Cross Buns” and “Old MacDonald’s Farm.”

I graduated from Pepperdine University with an undergraduate degree in Piano Performance and English Literature, and while there, discovered my affections for Russian music as well as Russian literary works.

I am currently a student in the University of Oregon’s Graduate Music Program and enjoy it immensely! I am fond of hiking, playing chess, traveling, and I have a wicked sweet tooth.

My favorite moments as a teacher have been when my students experience the "light-bulb effect." Phrases such as – "I FINALLY get it!!"; "Ohhhhh that makes so much sense!"; "Well now it’s easy!" – enliven the enjoyment and delight that music offers.
