Since I first sat at a piano at age five, music has been my passion and my obsession—a passion that flourished over 25 years. After earning my Master of Music in Piano Performance and Pedagogy, I embarked on a rewarding journey as a music educator. I taught a diverse range of lessons—from classical performance and improvisation to music appreciation—in settings that welcomed students aged 2 to 75. My career took me across four Canadian provinces and even to London, UK, where each new experience enriched my understanding of different cultures and life stories.

In 2021, a transformative moment arrived: I became a mother to a young child. This life change inspired me to explore new horizons, leading me to complete a 16-month Full-Stack Software Development program. I soon found myself working on a proof-of-concept application in the healthcare space. While I enjoyed the creative, detail-oriented challenge of front-end development—a natural extension of my background in music—I discovered that my true passion lay in the human side of technology. I loved collaborating with clients, diving into new industries, and iterating through ideas to develop everything from initial wireframes and prototypes to fully realized codebases.
