Hi, I’m Laila Puntel! By training, I’m a scientist in agriculture with many years of experience in higher education and industry, working toward the big goal of feeding the world and helping growers thrive. But alongside that path, music has always been part of my life—I grew up surrounded by it. I’ve always loved to sing, and I play the violin.

When I discovered Music Together®, I was inspired by the idea that every child and family has the potential to be musical. That message lit a spark in me. I feel a deep passion for connecting with children and their families, helping them discover the joy of making music together and the bond it creates. Through Melody & Me, I’m excited to bring that joy to families here in Bonita Springs and Naples, building community and lasting memories one song at a time.
