Along with being an active performer, I am very passionate about teaching.  
Before moving to Chicago I served as harp professor at the Frost School of
Music, University of Miami, in Miami, FL. I have also been the harp teacher
for the People's Music School in Chicago, IL; chamber music coach for the
Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra; harp coach for both the Chicago Youth
Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Youth Concert Orchestra; and taught
privately for over 12 years.

Past students have been awarded full-tuition scholarships to the Interlochen
Arts High School Academy and Summer Institute, Northern Illinois
University, the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, and the University of
Miami.  Students also regularly attend master classes and participate in both
local recitals and national harp competitions.
