I began playing the cello in my hometown of Cleveland when I was just four years old. I attended Interlochen Arts Academy for high school, and then continued my education at the University of Southern California where I studied with Ronald Leonard. I’ve been a fellow at the New World Symphony, and a tenured member of the Charlotte Symphony and the Seattle Symphony. In addition to performing music, I love teaching young musicians the joy of learning an instrument, and coaching musicians of all levels to perform their best in a fun and supportive environment. I would love to help you work toward your musical goals.
