I earned my BA in French with a minor in math from Pomona College, followed by a Masters in French Language Education from the Sorbonne University in Paris and a Masters in Library Information Science from San Jose State University. During the traditional school year, I work in an elementary school library. I also worked for six years as a middle and high school librarian and English, ESL, and history teacher. I began teaching private violin and viola lessons in the beginning of 2012. I have completed violin pedagogy trainings for Suzuki violin books one through four with the Suzuki Association of the Americas.
