From a young age, I was amazed by instruments and their sounds during siblings’ music practices that ultimately persuded me to follow in their footsteps. I began my piano studies at the age of eight. Since then, I have shared a deep love for music and the musical process.

I have had the honor of studying under highly accomplished and widely recognized teachers including Marta Basham and James McCormick. I received a full scholarship to attend the University of Redlands as a piano performance major, with an emphasis on pedagogy. There, I continued my studies with Louanne Fuchs Long (Artist Professor of Piano), who has mentored many international prize-winning students.

I have enjoyed performing and competing across Southern California.

My accomplishments include the Henneke's Scholarship, Best Instrumentalist in the prestigious "Open Call" at the McCallum Theater, the Steinway Society of Riverside County Festival Winner in both junior and senior divisions, the grand prize winner of the California Rotary music competition, and a Redlands Bowl young artist winner. I was also nominated for a Desert Theater League award for performing in the Musical Chairs Concert Series "I Love a Piano".

Now with children of my own, my focus has shifted from performing to teaching. I love sharing the joy of music and providing a creative outlet for students of all ages. My goal is to inspire a lifelong love of music, while building confidence and discipline, and help students enjoy learning and expressing themselves through piano.
