Welcome! I am an Ottawa native, where I earned my Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music with William Preucil and Master of Music in Violin Performance with Steve Rose.

I have been teaching for over 20 years using the power of music to empower students to be their best selves, and have fun! Aside from my private studio, I have taught at Orkdistra, Summertrios, Ottawa Suzuki School and am the founder of Classics in the Tropics, a music festival in the West Indies focussing on youth empowerment in music.

I held a tenured position with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, where I then moved to Toronto and worked regularly with the Canadian Opera Company, National Ballet of Canada and Toronto Symphony.

Making a full circle I have put my roots back in Ottawa, working regularly with the National Arts Centre Orhestra, and private teaching.

When not on the job, I train for marathons, travel with my daughter and visit family and friends.
