About Me
I am so excited to begin my 24th year as a music teacher! I'm originally from Long Island, NY and moved to Florida when I was in middle school. I graduated from USF with a degree in music education (emphasis in voice). Now, I live in Wesley Chapel with my husband and stepson. I am so fortunate to get to make and create music with so many of our students!

Why I Chose Education
I would not be where I am today and would not have had the experiences I've had as a musician without the guidance, support and encouragement of my teachers, especially in music. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and loved music from an early age, so I decided to put them together! Teaching music to our Schwarzkopf Bears is the best job!
