I started playing the piano when I was 4 years old, I didn't have a piano at the time, my parents told me I was so desperate to have one that I painted the keys of the piano on my desk in order to practice. That's when I got my first piano.
I was offered a musical scholarship in an amazing Music School, which I regretfully declined. I taught piano for 12 years and in 2014 I started the after school Music Program at ACS.
As far as I can remember I have been passionate about THE ARTS.
I enjoy designing all sorts of things, from posters to houses. I also enjoy playing piano, listening to music, and photography. I love candies, especially dark chocolate and gummy bears.
