“I started working at Camp Allegro in 2007 because I have a deep love for music and summer music camps and festivals. I've been to no less than 7 different ones! As a student, it was where I was challenged and exposed to new musical experiences. I met people from everywhere, and made new friends that enriched my life beyond measure. And it was fun! I hope to bring these experiences and opportunities to my students at Camp Allegro. I want to help them stretch and grow, both musically and personally.”
