About
My service as a teacher and Director stand out because of my dedication to all of my students. I created specific curriculum for each student on a case by case basis. My students have been accepted to college level music schools as well as magnet high school music programs. I have several students who have taken part in international piano competitions as well.
I enjoy being apart of the development of my students. I feel the arts are an important part of cognitive development for grade school students particularly. I have seen students excel when they have music arts as a part of their development.

I studied piano performance and composition at the New England conservatory. I continued my education at Westminster conservatory for my Master's in Piano performance and conducting.
