I am a teacher, painter, and songwriter based in Birmingham, AL. 

 

Having earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy and a Master of Science in Human Development, I certainly do not have the typical experience of a creative arts teacher. I started teaching my first guitar student when I was sixteen, which means I have been teaching for thirteen years!

 

​My teaching approach emphasizes tailoring lessons to individual interests and needs, fostering engagement and enjoyment. ​We will always start with what YOU are interested in learning. We will find what is right for your learning style. 

​

As an Autistic individual with multiple chronic illnesses, I understand the importance of flexibility, which I extend to my clients.  ​I work especially well with neurodivergent people, but of course I enjoy neurotypical people as well. ​

 

In addition to teaching, I sell my paintings and offer a variety of creative services, including live music for events and paint parties.​​​​ Outside of my home, I am doing music therapy work in the Birmingham community.
