from audition to stage to classroom.
I've lived every stage of the performing arts journey as a professional violist, a Fine Arts educator, and the founder of two performing arts ventures. That lived experience is what makes the work I do different.

THE STORY
By day, an educator.
By night, an entrepreneur.
I'm a high school orchestra director, educational administrator, professional violist, and the founder of three performing arts ventures. I've never believed those worlds had to be separate.
For over two decades I've stood at the intersection of education, performance, and entrepreneurship in the performing arts. My work helps musicians at every stage of their journey: from students just learning how to play, to navigating the intimidating world of college auditions, to early-career educators finding their footing in the classroom, to couples who want live music to make their most important moments unforgettable.

MY VENTURES
voice on the stage.
I bring something to a stage that most speakers can't: I'm still in the room. Still teaching, still performing, still building.
The insights I share aren't theoretical. They come from the daily reality of living at the intersection of music, education, and entrepreneurship.
