I started my musical journey when I was 6 years old and ever since then have grown continually in my passion to connect with people through music! I have always been excited to help teach the next generation of musicians so they are able to experience the incredible joy music brings!

How did your passion and interest for music start?

I grew up around a lot of violinists and always wanted to play. My mom was afraid her nerves couldn’t handle the squeaking of a new violin player, but I kept begging her to get me a violin and made countless paper violins to “practice” on :) When I made a case for my paper violin my mom finally agreed to let me start violin lessons. So, at age 6 I began the journey of learning the violin. Violin ignited my desire to be involved in music and that soon transferred over to piano and other various instruments as well!

What do you do at NoteAbility?

I teach violin, viola, and piano.

Who is your hero and why?

My human hero is my mom. She is the only reason I stuck with music and am any type of musician today. She spent countless hours plunking away at the piano helping me practice and get through the tough times when I wanted to quit. I would have missed out on so much in life if it wasn’t for her persistent, loving encouragement to never give up!
