I began my musical journey at a very young age.  I would sit and play on my Grandmother’s organ at the age of 5 learning songs by ear.  In grade school I was introduced to the theory of music playing violin and later in high school playing clarinet in the school band.  I was accepted into the Music Program at The University of Tampa after receiving piano instruction from local musician Florence Tillman.  At The University of Tampa I studied piano, vocals, and guitar.  I received private piano instruction with Professor Linda Rodriguez and was graded before a jury where I received an A for my efforts.  I also received private piano instruction with Professor Kenneth Hanks of Hillsborough Community College.  I received private vocal instruction at the University of Tampa with Dr. Yvonne Rene Dechance, Dawne Wisner Eubanks of Hillsborough Community College, and Margaret Lampasi of SUNY Adirondack in Upstate New York.  In 2010 I graduated SUNY Adirondack with an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts & Social Sciences with honors as an inductee of Phi Theta Kappa.  Currently, I am studying for a Bachelor of Arts at SUNY Empire with concentrations in Performing Arts and Literature.  I love to learn and I am eager to teach to share my knowledge, experience, and love for music in the community.
