Teaching music is something I wanted to do since I was 7 years old. My passion was fueled by many amazing music educators. As I grew, I spent most of my time singing, playing clarinet, and performing in musicals. I attended St. Norbert College in 2006 and graduated 4 years later. I have been teaching since 2010 and absolutely love it. I am a wife and mother.
