At the present time I teach privately and also work with students at Taylor Robinson Music and Dominant Music of Vero Beach.

Since the age of five, I have been playing violin in orchestras and have studied piano and guitar for over 10 years. I am an active member of the Vero Beach Chamber Orchestra as a first violinist, second seat, and have performed with the First Presbyterian Symphony Orchestra, Treasure Coast Symphony Orchestra, Vero Beach High School Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestras, Storm Grove Middle School Symphony Orchestra, and Indian River Youth Symphony Orchestra. I was chosen to perform with the Florida MS Honors Orchestra under the direction of Elliot Del Borgo and participated in the American Celebration of Music in Austria, the Disney Music Festival, and the Florida Atlantic University Side-by-Side Festival as an honor student.
