I’m a compassionate, experienced oboe teacher who serves dedicated students. I'll help you reach your full potential as a musician and find your unique path!

You know what else I’m passionate about? Helping young people whose voices are not being heard. Since 2013 I have been a court-appointed Guardian ad Litem. I provide a voice in the courtroom for children who are in the dependency system. My training has allowed me to be a reliable mentor and an effective community child advocate.
