A passionate violinist and music educator, I have built a robust performing and teaching career throughout Los Angeles and Chicago. As a performing artist, I have performed at Carnegie Hall and NPR, recorded at Warner Bros. and Sony Studios, and played alongside legends such as Herbie Hancock and Jack Black. Today, I continue to perform in string quartets, orchestras, and commercial/film recordings such as with DRAMA. I founded Evanston Strings, Chicago’s finest live music agency to blend my expertise in performing and providing high-quality client service.

Looking for fun, imaginative weekly private and group lessons? All of my students are taught a foundational technique through a modified Suzuki method and are encouraged to explore their innate musicality. My approach is simple: meet my students where they are, nurture their strengths, challenge them appropriately and intentionally, work alongside them towards concrete goals, celebrate the wins, and always lead with curiosity. Lessons are made fun through Sightreading Challenges, Rhythm Workouts, and games like “What Note am I?” and rolling the dice to decide repertoire order. Come join us!
