I have been teaching in the Willamette Valley for over 13 years. I graduated from Western Oregon University with my Bachelors and Masters in Music in 2009 and 2011 respectively. My focus is on providing an engaging and supportive environment for students to grow their skillsets and their love of music.
I am also principle clarinet for the Salem Philharmonia and enjoy working with local composers and chamber ensembles.
I am also growing a YouTube channel that will focus on providing content for students of all levels.
