Teaching is my passion. It began at age 14 with my first students and continued to the present day. I earned my BA in Music while continuing to teach, and have maintained a studio of 15-40 students in Southwest Washington, Southern California, and currently in the Napa Valley. I finished my certification with Suzuki 9-10 in 2022 with Timothy Durbin, but have also taken courses with Joanne Bath, Cathy Lee, Ellie Albers-Laroux, Vera McCoy-Sulentic, Barbara Barber, and Bill Starr. My Suzuki Book 1 story has been published in the Suzuki Journal.
