Not only has this journey of being a guitarist a privilege but it's definitely been a blessing. Working with notable names in the music industry such as the Backstreet Boys, going on tour with John Lee Hooker, and opening up for legendary bands as ZZ Top makes me feel like this journey was all dream. I knew the day would come where I'd be able to share what I learned through these experiences and it is definitely is fulfilling.

Music is fun—it sparks confidence, creativity, and joy from the very first lesson. I teach acoustic, electric, bass guitar, and drums with a flexible, student- centered approach grounded in strong fundamentals, favorite songs, and positive psychology. I'm grateful to have studied classical guitar at UCSC privately with Dr. Mesut Özgen, electric guitar with Les Wise (a founding teacher at GIT), drums with Dr. Royal Hartigan (West African Drums) (SJSU) and Dan Sabanovich (SJSU), and bass with Freekbass and Kai Eckhardt. My background reflects a deep love of music—spanning genres from jazz to metal—and helps me connect with the music that inspires you. ​ ​ Every lesson is thoughtfully planned, but always leaves room for creativity, curiosity, and fun.​

I started off playing violin when I was 10 and gained a strong passion for music. I quickly expanded to other musical instruments and genres such as piano, drums, and accordion which led me to exploring classical music, hip hop, and regional Mexican music. My desire for teaching came from helping fellow classmates during band practice when they were having difficulty learning a piece. From there, I started teaching low income families in my community and gained more experience as well as more opportunities to perform in a band. Teaching is my passion and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to cultivate their creativity and to gain a deep passion for music.
