I am an honors graduate of Westminster Choir College/Princeton University with my major in Piano and Accompanying and Coaching.  Due to the nature of my choral-based alma mater, I've had the incredibly fortunate experience to sing chorally and act as rehearsal pianist on stage under the direction of such conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Riccardo Muti and Zubin Mehta at halls including Juilliard, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.  I have regularly performed with the New York Philharmonic and the American Boychoir.  Several of the performances I was involved in were presented on the "Live From Lincon Center" program and broadcast on television and radio.

I've been teaching music in the public schools for 14 years, with experience ranging from Kindergarten to the High School level.  I have conducted and accompanied countless performances and shows.  I've also been a Minister of Music for 14 years, and have just taken a position as accompanist at Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church in Weddington, NC.

I've never considered what I do to be a job - my work is my passion and I feel blessed to experience the world of music through the eyes of children.  I take music education very seriously and will do everything possible to ensure that your child receives the highest quality of education possible.
