Even from childhood, I have always excelled in English writing and utilized it as a creative outlet where music, my main academic focus, failed. Friends and colleagues of all language backgrounds have turned me for proofreading, tutoring, and writing guidance. The English, Reading, and Writing sections of the ACT were always my strongest, and I achieved an almost perfect score in the English grammar component. In college, I served as the German department's tutor for two years, and I received many writing honors throughout my undergraduate degree. I have spent the past two years working as an English as a Foreign Language teacher at two Austrian high schools. Languages and creative writing are very near and dear to my heart, and I look forward to helping others to realize their artistic and professional visions with my skill set.

Though a native Oklahoman, I earned my Bachelor of Music in Cello Performance and German, magna cum laude, at DePauw University in Indiana and currently study baroque cello at the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität in Austria. I have studied with Claire Pottinger-Schmidt, Joanna Blendulf, Dr. Eric Edberg, Josef Luitz, Tomasz Zięba, and Dr. Jonathan Ruck. I am passionate about the arts in all forms and seek to bridge cultural gaps through creative expression.
