She is a well-rounded educator who collaborates with fellow educators and musicians to create engaging and creative musical curricula at different institutions.
As an eternal student and a passionate music educator and an individual, she actively participates in workshops to enhance her skills as a music educator. Notably, she currently attends Loyola University's AKI Kodaly Certificate Summer program (Completed Level 1 &2) and is on track to receive certification in 2025. She also completed the Teaching Artist Training Institute’s regional practicum in 2023 and Orff-Schulwerk workshops at George Mason University in 2022.

Ms. Gloria is a great teacher, patient but also quick to notice incorrectness in my playing. She demonstrates skillfully and tells me the best ways to practice. During lessons she is kind but is not hesitant to tell me what I am doing wrong. Ms. Gloria makes me feel more enthusiastic when I play flute and encourages me to feel the music... Ms. Gloria is one of the best teachers I've had in music!

Gloria is not only a reliable and skilled piano instructor, but she is also kind and thoughtful in all of her interactions with my children in their lessons. They have grown more in their lessons with Gloria than in their previous years of learning the piano. They enjoy their piano lessons with her and I highly recommend her!
