I began piano in 2nd grade, building a strong musical foundation. At 10, I started violin and fell in love with it. Throughout high school and college, I took private lessons and played in orchestras, honors ensembles, and quartets. I earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Music Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
