Musician, Educator, Journalist

I'm a working guitar player, singer, and songwriter in Los Angeles, and I'm also a music educator, journalist and author.

I teach electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, songwriting and music theory. As a journalist, I interview some of the world's greatest musicians, producers and engineers for Scandinavia's largest musician magazine, Musiker Magasinet. 

Teaching Credentials

I have a bachelor's degree in music from New School University, NYC; majored in jazz guitar at a high school of music in Sweden, and attended a guitar program in Stockholm that's similar to Musician's Institute in Los Angeles. 

I've taught students of all levels from total beginners to touring professionals, from ages 5 to adult.

I've taught private lessons in LA and NYC, group guitar classes at New School University's guitar program, and workshops in guitar and songwriting at NAMM's Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA. 

I've also been an international guest clinician at the all-female rock music college program ELLA in Sweden.

Besides teaching privately, I'm a staff teacher at several music schools, and I'm often asked to substitute teach at other music schools in LA. I love what I do!
