She has coached more than 50 emerging artists in this program, with students advancing to finals in professional orchestras. Her research on evidence-based practice strategies informs her teaching approach, translating research into clear, actionable plans for long-term growth.
An active orchestral and chamber musician, she performs with the Winston-Salem Symphony and at festivals across the U.S. and Europe. She’s played in chamber concerts alongside the late Kenneth Goldsmith, Masumi Rostad, Jürgen Weber, and many others. She has previously served on faculty at multiple Boston-area music programs such as Boston String Academy, Brookline Conservatory, and the Newman School.
