Creative professional, musician, and educator based in Western Massachusetts. I have spent a lifetime balancing music, teaching, and small business work, with a focus on community, tradition, and practical problem-solving. I value lifelong learning, creative expression, and staying engaged with the world at every stage of life.

Music performance and instruction, especially violin, fiddle, mandolin, and ensemble playing, with long experience teaching students of many ages and skill levels. Traditional music styles, including Celtic, folk, Americana, and community-based music making, and how those traditions are passed along over time.
