Work Experience:
I have been teaching Plena Music (Caribbean Hand Drums) from Puerto Rico for special needs and general students in Middle Schools, High Schools, Cultural & Community Centers throughout the US for several years and now that I am living in Illinois I continue to do the same. I am striving to share my knowledge and talent with everyone. My goal is to expose the world to Plena Music.
