Concert Cellist, Foodie, hiker, traveler (though I have mostly traveled the states and only a few countries so far!)

I am finishing my doctorate in cello performance from Arizona State University as the cello teaching assistant. I teach children through adults cello lessons and I perform in chamber ensembles and orchestras! I love to take trips to schools to share music with children and teach them about the colorful history and culture of music.

I like to drink a good beer—I have even played concerts where I have paired beers with Bach movements for the audience to enjoy a multi-sensory performance! I love collaborating with dancers and other artists! I am constantly looking for ways to collaborate outside of the mainstream cellist’s life.

I love to walk through nature and marvel at architecture. These are two things that I could stare at all day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Haha—as a musician, I love listening to almost everything! I listen to audio books and biographies on audible. Generally, I just love to continuously learn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Generosity is the most amazing thing we should all experience. I believe this is what will truly bring us joy and fulfillment in life. Share your heart, share your skill, and share talents—and if you have it, share your wealth. Haha! It is very important.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about life, music, and positive experiences. I like to hear other’s stories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share a private concert. I am a performing cellist, so I have a repertoire of solo works I can share. If you happen to play piano and have a piano, we are in super luck!
