A Lifelong Dedication to Music

Music has been the guiding force of my life since childhood. From my earliest memories seated at the keys to earning a Master’s degree in Piano Performance, my journey has been defined by a relentless pursuit of musical excellence and a deep, enduring desire to share that passion with others.

Over the years, I have had the profound privilege of studying under world-renowned teachers and pianists who profoundly shaped my understanding of artistry and technique. This rich educational foundation naturally evolved into a fulfilling teaching career, allowing me to pass on the traditions I was taught.

I have proudly served on the faculties of the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) school in Pittsburgh, the preparatory school at Carnegie Mellon University, and Schoolcraft College in Michigan. Today, from my private home studio in Pittsburgh, I continue this legacy by guiding students of all ages—from young beginners discovering their first notes to adults reigniting a long-held passion.
