about me
I enjoy a multifaceted career as a musician and educator.
I play oboe and English horn in solo, chamber, and orchestral ensembles and I love the diverse performing opportunities a freelance career offers. As an educator, my students have had great success, with a track record of being selected to All-State Honor Bands and youth orchestras, and obtaining scholarships to study music in college.
