In 2015, she and her team launched MusicplayOnline, a digital teaching platform designed to bring practical, engaging resources to music classrooms everywhere. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she offered the platform for free and hosted weekly webinars to help teachers navigate the shift to online learning. Her generosity, innovation, and deep love of music empowered thousands of teachers and inspired millions of students.
