Music moves me — and helping students move through their music journey is the most rewarding part of teaching. I’m a musician, artist, and dedicated teacher based in Portland, Oregon. For the past six years, I’ve helped students of all ages discover and develop their unique musical voice. During my time in Nashville, I ran my own studio and balanced supporting students as they grew into well-rounded musicians with managing schedules and billing.

I hold a dual degree in Songwriting and Music Production & Engineering from Berklee College of Music. My foundations are in classical and jazz, but my heart is in contemporary music — pop, rock, indie, folk, R&B, and beyond. I’m also an active performer, writer, and producer of original music — both solo and in bands.

I meet each student where they are, let their interests lead, and support their goals with a balance of flexibility and structure. I draw from classical techniques and apply them to modern music — from singing with more freedom and learning favorite songs, to writing original music or preparing for performances. If you’re looking for a supportive space to grow musically and creatively, I’d love to work with you!

When I’m not in the studio, I’m probably climbing, hiking with my husband and pups, hunting for unusual synths, or exploring Portland’s vibrant veg food scene.
