Academy Of Music

About me

My musical journey began at 7 years old when my parents signed me up for piano lessons from a teacher just down the street. While it required a lot of practice and determination, it also unlocked a love for music, the arts, and  most importantly, teaching. I'm an advocate for every student, especially those who are in need of a word of encouragement. My desire is to see every student (young and old!) find joy in music no matter their level of skill or talent.

I hold an MTS from Tyndale University in Toronto, a  BMus from the University of Windsor and an ARCT from the Royal Conservatory of Music. I also am the Past President and active member of our local chapter of ORMTA (Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association), a registered & certified teacher with the Royal Conservatory of Music, a member of the CFMTA (Canadian Federation of Music Teachers Associations) where I sit on the Program, Funding, and Grants Committee, a voting member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing), and hold the designation RMT (Registered Music Teacher) through the Royal Conservatory of Music and am an active member of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors.

In addition, I am an adjudicator for music festivals across Ontario in both singing and piano disciplines.
