I am a graduate from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where I earned my Bachelors of Violin Performance and Music Education in Instrumental-String. I am the Associate Orchestra Director at Centennial High School in Frisco, Texas, where I co-teach six orchestras with my wonderful colleague, as well as music theory. Prior to joining my wonderful team in Frisco, I completed my student teaching at Carmel High School. I studied violin with Brenda Brenner, who is the Eugene O'Brien Bicentennial Executive Associate Dean and Chair of the Music Education Department. I maintain an active private studio. In addition to teaching, I regularly perform with numerous orchestras, such as the McKinney Philharmonic Orchestra and the San Angelo Symphony, and even indie rock bands! Outside my studies, I enjoy staying active by rock climbing, hiking, and playing pickleball. I also love seeing the world through my grandpa’s old film camera and keeping up with my favorite bands!
