Experience
Musical Director/Accompanist
Aug, 2007 - Mar, 2009YMCA Boulton Center
Worked as the Musical Director and piano accompanist for a children's program at the community arts center. Rehearsed weekly with the children to prepare all of the numbers, and choreographed the performance as well as arranged piano accompaniment for all of the pieces. This was the first job I had where I was working with children, and it's what led me to want to start teaching music as well as other subjects.
Piano Teacher
Sep, 2011 - Jan, 2015Piano Studio for Kids / Private Teaching
The piano studio for kids offers private piano lessons for children ages 5 and up. As a teacher here I have learned how to work with any type of student and bring them to their highest potential! Whether it's preparing for NYSSMA or a college audition I make sure that they are ready and confident. Teaching privately has given me the opportunity to completely personalize my lessons for each student and make sure that they achieve any and all goals that they have set out to
Teachers Assistant in the Undergraduate Biochemistry Lab
Aug, 2011 - Jan, 2012SUNY Stony Brook
As a junior at Stony Brook University, I taught a laboratory course in biochemistry. This involved preparing and testing procedures for each experiment, and then leading each laboratory group through these procedures on the days of the classes. As the teacher's assistant I was also required to relay all exam scores and results of each lab to the professor, as well as make sure that all equipment was accounted for and taken care of.
Musical Director
Mar, 2010 - Dec, 2011Stony Brook Pipettes Acapella
The Stony Brook Pipettes is the only all female acapella group at Stony Brook University. I was elected as the Musical Director of the group in my second semester as a member. As musical director, I was required to hold board meetings to discuss rehearsals, events, and gigs, as well as put together arrangements and coordinate auditions and placement. In my year and a half as musical director, the Pipettes were placed in multiple invitationals and competitions, and performed at over a hundred on campus events. Being a part of this club was like being part of a family, and being able to have such a large role in it was one of the most enjoyable things I was a part of while in college.
