Since I was five, I've been immersed in piano music, culminating in a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from California State University at Fullerton. My involvement extends beyond performance; I've served in leadership roles within music education associations and I've been an active member of the Pi Kappa Lambda honor society since 2021. I love learning and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree from CSU Fullerton.

Teaching at High Desert Piano is my passion. My teaching philosophy centers on music as a universal language, offering a nurturing environment for students  to discover their musical voice across all ages and skill levels. My approach combines theory, technique, and expression, to inspire not just excellent musicians but also creative composers.

I'm proud to see my students grow not only in their technical skills but also in their confidence and creativity, regularly participating in recitals, group workshops, and composing their own music. Witnessing their development and seeing them embrace music as a form of personal expression is the true reward of my work. This journey of musical exploration and achievement with my students  reaffirms my commitment to fostering a love of music that lasts a lifetime. 

In addition to my teaching endeavors, I've achieved notable milestones as a performer, including a cherished performance at Carnegie Hall and a recital dedicated to underrepresented female composers. These experiences not only deepen my own connection to music but also serve as inspiration for my students.
