I am a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelors Degree in Instrumental Performance on the Viola. While at NAU, I performed in many chamber groups and focused on solo performance.
Experience: I was principal of the viola section of both the NAU Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra for 3 years. I was a member of Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra on the viola for 4 years in 3rd chair. I was also a member of the Verde Valley Sinfonietta for 1 year in the position of 2nd chair on the viola.
I started playing the violin when I was 9 years old at Franklin Elementary School. I participated in Metropolitan Youth Orchestra for 4 years (6th grade-9th grade). I also participated in MYPO (Mesa Young People Orchestra) in 5th grade and Junior High Honor Orchestras throughout my years in Junior High. My first year of High School I decided to switch my emphasis over to the viola. I achieved Arizona All-State for the viola 3 years in a row and was principal of the viola section my senior year.
