About Your Teacher

---

Hi! I've been playing the flute for 20+ years. My parents divorced when I was in 6th grade. Devastated, the flute was my sanctuary and music became a path to healing. 

I practiced for many hours every single day. Music gave me something to look forward to, was a necessary escape from reality, and ultimately led to mastery of my instrument. I was awarded 1st chair flute & piccolo soloist in freshman year of high school. You will hear me say many times over, "anything you practice you'll get very good at." At a young age I birthed 3 children into the world I was fully immersed in motherhood. My priorities began to shift and I was slowly losing myself in the process, a common occurrence for mothers everywhere, yet forgetting is an essential part of remembering who you really are. In 2024, I made a hard pivot back to my instrument after a stunning revelation—music is the answer. To this day it is the only thing that has helped me build a life worth living. I am profoundly grateful for this opening to my highest potential, the opportunities music has granted me, and for my students (and their parents) who have placed a tremendous amount of trust in me as their teacher and guide. Thank you 1 million times over.
