"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you shared with us in Record Production this semester. I genuinely feel like this class changed the way I listen to and understand music. Before this class, I would mostly just listen to songs as a listener, but now I catch myself noticing production choices, vocal layers, effects, textures, and so many small details that I never paid attention to before. I feel like my ear for music developed so much, and that honestly means a lot to me as someone who wants to keep growing as an artist.    I also really appreciated the way you taught the class and shared your knowledge with us. It made the whole process feel exciting and inspiring instead of intimidating, and it pushed me to want to keep creating and learning more outside of school.

Head high school coach for 11 years, active tournament player, patient teacher. Passionate about helping underserved kids throughout Seattle learn tennis and have organized and connected with many initiatives to do so. My goal is to help you achieve your goals whether that be improving technique or beginning to learn to play. To that extent, I am fairly flexible in my approach. For beginners, I focus on technique, proper grips, and generating topspin. To do this, I focus on hand feeding a lot of balls early on to develop proper technique and to train the muscle memory. Specifically, I teach a semi-western forehand, two-handed backhand, volley fundamentals, split stepping, proper footwork and serve mechanics. I also work with students who have one-handed backhands. I am a big believer in putting in a lot of time on the serve. For more experienced players, I will work with you to either identify areas for improvement or to work on areas you’ve identified you would like to improve.
