About Noteworthy
Noteworthy Education was created from the blend of my two passions, singing and biomechanics. As an undergraduate vocal performance major, most of what I learned in the studio made complete sense! What I didn't understand remained a mystery until I became a physical therapist years later. To be honest, some concepts took even longer to fully grasp. Better late than never!
​
Many singers, instrumentalists, and other performing artists would be able to learn more efficiently with a good foundation of anatomy and physiology knowledge. Noteworthy Education was created to provide artists with the information that I had to learn over decades, in hopes that they can learn, communicate, and express their passion with greater ease.

Personal History
After years of playing piano and taking voice lessons, I received a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. For a few years I performed semi-professionally and taught voice and piano lessons, then decided to become a physical therapist to help others rehabilitate from injury.
​
I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and became a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Initially wanting to focus on the rehabilitation of performing artists, my interest in orthopedics grew and I specialized in the treatment of the temporomandibular joint. I am currently on faculty for a clinical residency program and have enjoyed presenting guest lectures at numerous colleges and universities. I have been able to continue singing locally as a soloist and in choirs and hope to do so for years!
