I am an avid music lover, traveler, and reader. As I have not yet found a way to transform those passions into a way to pay the bills, I have opted to work in the financial services industry for the last decade both in New York and overseas before moving to Denver. Music and the arts have played an increasingly large role throughout my life. I, along with most of my peer group, began playing the recorder when I was eight years old. After quickly advancing to the tenor recorder, I sought greener pastures with the violin and then the tenor saxophone. Once I hit my rebellious teenage years, I picked up the guitar and bass guitar and have stuck with those since. I joined Inside the Orchestra because I believe that giving children access to music at an early age opens doors which would not otherwise be explored. Although my music tastes have settled somewhere in between obscure blues and New Orleans jazz, this path all started with the basics which I learned on the recorder. I am excited to help the organization bring this engaging music experience to these students and truly open the door to the possibilities which music has to offer.
