Eve has a thriving piano studio of students currently age 3 to 85. She takes pride in the community she has fostered of enthusiastic, explorative, and investigative pianists who perform music from a plethora of sources, including classical repertoire, popular music, and even their own compositions and improvisations.

Eve recieved her undergraduate degree from the Lawrence University and Conservatory (Appleton, WI) where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2020 with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance (studying under Dr. Michael Mizrahi) and a Bachelor of Arts in German Cultural Studies.
