Professional info
I earned a Bachelors degree in Music Performance from Stetson University (Deland, Florida), with a minor in general Education, focusing in Flute as my primary instrument and voice as a secondary. My current job as Office Manager/Sales & Marketing Director at Nagahara Flutes brought me to the Chelmsford area. During the last seven years living in MA I've enjoyed studying with distinguished teachers and have worked with a variety of ensembles as flutist, coach and teacher. I participated in the Teacher Training course at the Boston Flute Academy which helped me further develop and solidify my teaching techniques and philosophy. I'm a passionate educator and a student-centered teacher with the goal to empower my students to achieve their highest potential. It is my biggest endeavor to help shape young musicians into active leaders of our community and hope that the discipline that goes into mastering an instrument will cross over to every aspect of their lives.
