I believe that in the music studio, both mentor and mentee have an equal role. I truly value what every individual can bring into the classroom and I love learning from my students and finding new ways of teaching and relating. I strive to create a flexible environment with inclusivity at its core, in which there is a space for everyone, irrelevant of social, racial, economic and personal background.

Throughout the past 10 years I have taught and tutored in a variety of settings, including private lessons, in small classrooms and within Berklee College of Music as a tutor, and it has always been very clear to me that teaching and connecting through music is my calling.
