Additional Info:

With over 20 years of experience as a piano accompanist, I bring a deep commitment to collaboration and musical excellence. My journey began in the church, where I accompanied worship services and choirs—an experience that laid the foundation for my passion in supporting others through music.

Classically trained in South Korea, Germany, and the United States, I have a broad musical background and a flexible approach to working with vocalists, instrumentalists, and ensembles. While I am capable as a soloist, I find my greatest joy and strength in being a musical partner—whether accompanying a choir, supporting a student in an audition, or playing in an ensemble setting.

I previously worked extensively throughout the Washington, D.C. area—including Maryland and Virginia—where I accompanied high school choirs, played for student auditions, competitions, and festivals, and performed as a member of a musical theater orchestra. I also have over a decade of experience as a church musician, continuing to serve in worship services and performing at weddings, funerals, and other special events.

After stepping away from a full-time role to focus on family, I’ve continued to pursue piano work with renewed purpose. Now based in Indiana, I’m looking to expand my musical collaborations and accompaniment opportunities in the region. I’d love to connect with others who share a passion for making music together.
