About
I have been a professional musician all my life, aside from stints in the food industry, newspaper delivery, as a licensed driver (with a chauffeur's license). But most of my life I have been an orchestral musician, always earning my positions in competitive international auditions. I have two Master's degrees in music, on two different instruments. One degree concentrated on the history of musical performance. I am interested in taking a new turn in my life, one that would allow me more security and allow me the freedom to follow musical projects of my own interest, rather than those of a musical director. Hence, I have found that the University of Toledo's highly regarded Paralegal Certificate program offers me a great opportunity to enter the legal field, studying as I continue my career as a musician. I hope to enjoy the best of both worlds.
