My belief is that anyone can enjoy, learn, and perform music whatever their skill level is. Starting my musical journey at a young age, I realized the effect that music can have on people. I have made it a mission to follow my passion of creating a positive musical environment for young musicians. I have earned degrees from Culver-Stockton College and Northwestern University. I have also had performance opportunities with the Quincy Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra. Currently, I perform with the Chicago Wind Symphony and teach privately at Skokie Park District and Harper College. I have dedicated my time to creating a music program that allows students to continue and enhance their passion.
