About me
When I was young I clearly remember my babysitters and why they had a positive effect on me. From an early age, my babysitters were introducing me to new movies, new foods and new experiences. I would love to have a similar effect on a child.
I have worked as a camp counselor, and music educator and can relate to children in a variety of ways. My musical knowledge in all areas is a great way for me to connect with someone. As a classical musician we develop a great attention to detail and learn how to work with a variety of different people in a variety of age groups, having to exhibit patience during it all.
In addition to my passions as a musician, I am very much into playing and watching sports. Growing up a huge New York sports fan, and going to school in Canada, hockey is one sport that captures my attention. Most kids definitely identify with sports and I would love to share my excitement for New York sports with another.

In five years I hope to be a self-sustained classical bassoonist, with a family of my own.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love to teach kids about music, whether it's classical, jazz, musical theater, or any form of popular music. In addition I am an avid movie goer, and would love to introduce a child to a new film or experience an old classic. In addition I love food, and would love to help someone experience a food they have never tried and expanding one's palette.
