I am a pianist and singer based in Los Angeles, with a professional background that spans performance, private instruction, liturgical work, and artistic direction across a wide range of settings.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of body mechanics, sound production, and injury prevention — developed not only through years of teaching, but through my own lived experience of navigating and overcoming physical challenges. This has led me to study, in detail, the often invisible mechanics underlying fluid, virtuosic movement. As a result, I bring a level of awareness to fine motor coordination and physical ease that allows me to both refine my own playing and guide others with precision and care.
Equally central to my work is my approach to teaching. I am deeply attentive, adaptable, and committed to creating an environment where each student feels supported, understood, and capable of growth. My role is not only to instruct, but to nurture — to recognize what each individual needs, and to meet them there with clarity and intention.
I have performed in venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall and Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and have collaborated with conductors including James Conlon and Carl St. Clair. Recent projects include participation in the LA Philharmonic's Noon to Midnight: Field Recordings series, exploring intersections of art, technology, and nature.
I bring over 15 years of experience as a piano instructor, with work spanning both private and institutional settings. This includes teaching at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine through the HEAL (Humanities, Ethics, Art, and Law) Program, where I contributed to interdisciplinary approaches connecting music, human experience, and learning.
