and the guitar. Besides the concert and symphonic experience, she has also
played with pop, rock and blues and jazz bands. After graduating from college
with a degree in Chemistry and German and a minor in Music, she decided
to pursue her first love...Music. Today she is an internationally touring performer
and singer, as well as the founder of her own growing music/video production
