Helping those around me to grow and experience new and challenging things has been a passion for me for many years. I have worked with others in an educational setting several times; tutoring children in my local chess club as a young teen and teaching my younger siblings piano and chess.&nbsp; I look forward to any and all opportunities to spread music and education in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I have been playing piano for almost fifteen years now, starting when I was just seven years old. I began my musical career under the tutelage of my small-town instructor Marijana Cvetijic. Under her care, I grew into an accomplished pianist, and due to her influence, I developed an intense desire to gift unto others the musical education that she had given me and to make a positive impact on the lives of children, teenagers, and young adults alike. I am currently a Music Education student at Old Dominion University, studying Piano and Voice. My ultimate goal is to become a Doctor of Music Education and go on to teach Piano, Music Theory, and Voice.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/whitebread\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32159\/2023\/05\/me.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/whitebread\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32159\/2023\/05\/me.jpg 686w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/whitebread\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32159\/2023\/05\/me-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/whitebread\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32159\/2023\/05\/me-630x840.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a musician, an educator, and a dedicated lover of the arts.
