Houston, TX
My musical journey started when I was 7 years old.
I fell in love with music when I saw my uncle play marimba with his Latin band in El Salvador.
I always knew I wanted to become a professional musician. I have worked hard and studied for so many years to establish a method to work in the industry.
My passion for teaching started in middle school. My music teachers were important and influential. I wanted to inspire the future generations just like them.
I believe in teaching music as a language.
Music develops important life virtues such as patience, determination, and true expression.
