Her dedication to her students involves weekly lessons, accompanying them in recitals and competitions, and attending their performances outside of recitals she holds. She provides her students with as many performance opportunities as possible, including a fund raiser for UNICEF with a performance at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, PA.
Even with her busy teaching schedule, she still manages to make time to share her talents performing with others as well, including appearing as featured soloist and accompanist with Sinclair Productions, String Breezes, Dorian Aire, guest soloist with her student at the Kimmel Center and a guest appearance on "Musical Spotlight” program on the radio.

I feel extremely honored and thankful to have such a rewarding career and I realize how important my work is.

My constant goal is to be able to reach each of my students and provide them with a broad range of knowledge, positive experiences and inspirations, so that music will always be a part of their lives.
