What is your most interesting current/upcoming project?
Leading the Paul Rolland String Pedagogy Society's Certification Committee, presenting at Rolland String Pedagogy Workshops, and serving as a mentor to candidates in Rolland Pedagogy Training.
How do you feel WVU and the College of Creative Arts prepared you for your career?
My interest in pedagogy stems from the detailed training I received while at WVU.
If you could give one piece of advice to incoming or current students in WVU's College of Creative Arts, what would it be?
Follow your passion while keeping your eyes open for side interests. For a metaphor: Your passion is the superstructure on which outside influences will lay the substance of your life.
