A native of Long Beach, California, Justina is a proud graduate of California State University Long Beach. She was a scholarship student of Linda Rose and Dr. Chan Ho Yun, earning her Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in violin performance in the spring of 2007.

Justina was awarded Grand Prize in South Bend, Indiana's "America's Youth on Parade" international talent competition. She has also captured top prizes at the Long Beach Bach Festival, the Southwestern Youth Festival, Young Artists Guild of California, as well as being a seven-time prize winner of the Music Teacher's Association of California music competition for both violin and piano.

In the fall of 2007, Justina recorded the second violin part to the Jewish documentary film "Swimming in Auswitch". This documentary won numerous film festival awards, including the Santa Monica Film Festival award.

She has also had the honor and privilege to participate in master classes conducted by Adele Anthony, Elmar Oliveira, Corey Cerosek, Mark Robertson, and the Alexander String Quartet.

Since the eighth grade, Justina has enjoyed mentoring eager piano and violin students. Piano was the first instrument she learned and taught. Although she freelances mostly as a violinist, piano has been a strong foundation which she credits her thorough knowledge of theory and musicianship to. She also enjoys rudimentary skills with the cello, flute, clarinet, harp, and voice. Recently married in the winter of 2010 and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in the summer of 2011, Justina looks forward to new musical experiences in the northern Colorado areas hoping to bring her joy of music to others whether its through performing or teaching.
