My commitment to education extends far beyond the concert stage. I held a position as a Graduate Teaching Fellow at the UO School of Music and Dance; have taught music at Metro Montessori/ChildPeace Elementary School in Portland; served as an intersession instructor at CalArts; serve as a guest teaching artist at Lakeridge High School; serve as a sectional coach at Beaumont Middle School; and currently work as a substitute paraeducator at Portland Public Schools, specifically assisting children with special needs. I also specialize in private lessons, bringing an integrated approach that offers wisdom from multiple aspects and fields of music as well as other disciplines and modes of thought, like psychology, Eastern and Western philosophy, neuroscience, biology, and more.
