5.0/5 stars 3

I began studying violin at the age of five under Linda Good in the Island Strings program on Whidbey Island. Other teachers that provided my instruction while on Whidbey included Michael Nutt, Jackie Evans, and Talia Marcus.
In 1995 I received runner up in the all Island Concerts on the Cove Concerto Competition as a sophomore in high school.

I received an english degree with a music minor from The Colorado College, where I studied with Michael Hanson. I was the winner of The Colorado College concerto competition in 2003 and 2004.
I earned a Masters in violin performance from The University of Washington in 2006. I studied with Ron Patterson.

Currently I play for the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra as well as my band, The Crying Shame. I still study with Mr. Patterson.

I have been teaching for 12 years and currently keep a studio of more than twenty students.
