After graduating college in 2018, I moved to Australia to be with my partner. I began searching for students soon after I got settled here in 2019 , eager to begin teaching again. Below you will find my student teaching experiences, with some bullet points of important aspects from those experiences. Before that, throughout my high school career, I also worked with a co-operation program within my school district to work with middle school orchestral students. In that same district, I worked with students during a summer camp at my high school run by my orchestral director, in which I taught students assigned to me 1-on-1. I also had a similar camp counselling experience in college.

I began my journey on the viola while I was in college after my college orchestra had a shortage of the section. I fell in love with this rich instrument, and already having extensive experience with the violin, I fell into viola very quickly and well. It quickly became my secondary instrument, performing it in all ensembles except my lessons as part of my major. After graduating, I taught more violin students however, I did teach a beginner viola student last year in 2019, only halting lessons due to her moving further South. Through this experience, as well as my performance experiences with the viola, I am completely confident that I can teach this gorgeous instrument.
