Minding Melodies grew out of two lifelong passions: music and a deep-rooted love for education passed down through my family. My grandmother and father were school superintendents, and my mother and aunt were devoted classroom teachers, so learning was not only important, but sacred to my family.

Though I began my journey as a musician and digital artist with an MFA from NYU, I couldn't ignore the pull to support young learners. Minding Melodies blends my creative vision and holistic health background to offer a joyful space where kids explore wellness, mindfulness, and self-expression through rhythm and play.

Hip Hop is central to this work because it's the heartbeat of my own childhood and a powerful, relatable tool for helping kids connect, express and grow. I believe in helping children thrive from the inside out.
