She holds a master's degree and a double degree in Piano Performance/Pedagogy from the distinguished pianist Eteri Andjaparidze. She also serves as an adjunct faculty member at New York University. She holds degrees from L’École Normale de la Musique de Paris, CRR de Paris, and studied with outstanding pianists Marie-Catherine Girod, Billy Eidi, and Alexander Braginsky.
