I'm a pianist, international Online piano teacher (Skype and Face Time), recording artist, and Patch blogger based in Berkeley, CA. (I give piano lessons to students in Sydney, Australia, Scotland, Portugal and those in various parts of the US.) In July 2016 I presented at the MTAC State Convention on "Braving the New Technology: Sky-ping Piano Lessons." My various teaching-related publications have appeared in the California Music Teacher Magazine, Clavier Magazine, and the Piano Quarterly.

A grad of the New York City High School of Performing Arts, Oberlin Conservatory, and NYU (Master of Arts) I enjoy many facets of musical expression that encompass teaching, recording and writing.

To add to my activities, I'm a volunteer for Ashby Village.
