Hi guys! I graduated from Ouachita Baptist University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  I have performed on stage, singing and dancing much of my young adult life. In 2005 I moved to New York City with a passion for working with children. Along with mentoring children in the arts, I spent three years volunteering in the inpatient pediatric ward at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and have volunteered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Boomer Esiason Foundation to help raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. 

Piano has always been a passion of mine. I began playing at the age of seven and began writing children's music when my daughter Hazel Rose was born in 2017. I have now written over 50 children songs and am releasing my second album THIS SEPTEMBER! I have 10 years of childcare experience, having nannied 12 children in New York City and the surrounding areas.  I’ve taught many of these children the piano and helped the children expand on their musical capabilities. Getting to watch many of those kids get accepted into top musical theater programs in the nation and even gracing the Broadway stage has just been so much fun to watch. I couldn't be more proud.

This is truly what I am meant to do, and I am completely dedicated to enriching the lives of our young ones through enthusiastic and creative music that is sure to bring a smile to your child's face. Working with children is a true blessing and it’s vitally important to me that each child in my class be treated as if they were one of my own.  And let me be clear, this means ANY child. Any race, any religion, or any gender! Your children will be met with nothing but absolute love upon entering my class. period!

I also fully believe that theses classes are not only for your children, but for you also! It’s a great way for parents and caregivers to come together and connect with one another as well. It's outrageously important for parents to feel supported. Not just by our loved ones, but by other parents and caregivers. We need to be one big giant team of parental love, looking after and caring for all of our children.  Through these special interactions, children will witness the benefits of making and keeping friendships.

I could not do this without the support of my amazing family, my husband Kevin and my daughter Hazel Rose.  They are my everything and I’m just so happy I get to do life with them every single day.

Now let’s make some MUSIC!!
