When she's not travelling around the country with a team of rhythm specialists or facilitating team building sessions, working with youth, promoting anti bullying, drumming in hospitals with children and parents or consulting with school leaders and district officials, you can find her sitting in on congas at the local hot spot definitely surrounded with friends and family.

Nina uses Toca Freestyle Djembes, Djun Djuns, Timbales, Congas, Cajon and a variety of hand percussion. The authenticity, tone, pitch and extreme attention to detail make these products kick! Her interactive audiences love the Toca Freestyle Djembes. Their unique colorful designs, along with their lightweight and durable construction, make them a perfect fit for her drumming participants.
