I began my teaching journey with private piano lessons in 2006 as a freshman in high school. I come from a military family and have had the pleasure of living (and teaching) all over the world. I have been teaching privately for 15 years.

 

I have a Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Winthrop University, SC as well as a Masters Degree in Arts Administration. There was a point in my life where I thought my calling was in the school system, but I found my true passion teaching students the joy of music on an individual level.

​

I am the current Director of Music and Office Administrator at the Cocoa Presbyterian Church. I have previously had the privilege to direct the Atlantic Children's Chorale and sing in many esteemed choirs throughout the state of Florida. My most recent highlight was the opportunity to perform Mary McDonald's debut of "A Festival of Christmas" at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2022.

​

The Wolfgang Academy of Music is my way of creating a safe and encouraging place for students to learn and grow their musical talents without fear and to find their joy in music.
