From a piano performance:
A variety of classical and jazz music, both upbeat and sentimental, or whatever type of music is requested. I am an excellent sight reader and can usually pick up songs from sheet music quickly. I also like to choose music to suit the mood instead of having a pre-planned set.

I moved to San Diego a few years ago and am loving the new lifestyle I have created for myself. I love that every one of my jobs allows me to make a positive difference in people's lives!

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and completed my undergraduate education at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I studied Community Studies and Sociology. I then attended the University of California, Los Angeles and attained a Master's degree in Public Policy. Throughout my college education, music has continued to be a very important part of my life.

I began playing the piano when I was 7 years old. When I turned 13, I joined the worship band at my church as a pianist and background vocalist. I did not leave the band until I was 21 and moved to L.A. for school. During high school, I was in the marching band, where I played the synthesizer and various percussion instruments, like the vibraphone, xylophone, and marimba. When I was 15 years old, I completed the Advanced Level Certificate of Merit and began giving piano lessons. I believe it is very important that all musicians, whether young or old, receive a well-rounded musical education. I incorporate theory, technique, sight reading, ear training, and performance into the lessons I give. I also continue to learn and improve in my self-education.

The balloon twisting came along more as a hobby than a job. I picked it up very quickly and was twisting in restaurants for tips for a while. I have since twisted in various situations but still love to just do it at home in my spare time!

As for the health and wellness coaching, I am an Herbalife independent distributor. I give free wellness evaluations help people achieve whatever their health goals are- whether it's losing, maintaining, or gaining weight, sculpting lean muscle, having more energy, getting better sleep, getting rid of headaches, allergies, stomach issues, or any other health issues, or some combination of all of the above.

I also have tutoring experience. And I love both animals and children, which makes me an excellent petsitter and babysitter. I have two dogs at the moment and have grown up having dogs. I have much experience with children through all of my teaching and tutoring experiences, as well as through Mad Science and the year I spent running an after school program.

I am a very passionate, hardworking woman, and I would love to help you with whatever you need!

For piano performance:
A piano is generally required, although exceptions can be made if I am notified far enough in advance and the performance requires only a keyboard. The piano must be in tune, have a stand for sheet music and a working damper pedal, and have a bench or chair at the appropriate height.

For balloon twisting:
All equipment is provided.
