ABOUT Me: Photo Gallery

I began studying music and dance at a very young age but, early on, I also realized that teaching was my passion. At the age of seventeen, I began teaching at a local music and dance studio. I gained valuable insight and expertise and managed that business for many years. 

Knowing my path, I simultaneously went on to earn four Bachelors Degrees, including two in Music and Dance, respectively, from Hunter College. From there, I completed my Masters of  Education at Concordia University.

 For the last decade, I have also taught as a media and research specialist, and music educator at private and public schools. I look forward to sharing my love for education and the arts with students through my new endeavor, Play it by Ear. 

I am a strong believer that everyone has a gift. I often compare the lessons learned in music and dance to life, in that everyone is responsible for their part. However, when performed together, the result is overwhelmingly beautiful and powerful. 

I am empowered every time a student achieves that which they were unsure they could. I believe it is my honor to teach students and to help them find their own passion and path in life.
