Personal Profile
Every since I could remember, I loved music. I come from a very musical family where my mom, dad, siblings and extended family all play(ed) an instrument. Though I am proficient in more than just creating and teaching music, I chose it as my career because it not only makes me happy but I feel I can contribute and enrich the people and students that comes across my path.
Below you can find a timeline of my music activities throughout the year, though is but a small fraction of the total accomplishments I have been busy with the last 18 years.
