Experience

I'm a beginning orchestra teacher that teaches in five different elementary schools. I've always been a fan of making things for my students that will help them succeed, so I've decided to put my skills to the test. :)

Teaching style

I'm goofy and strict all at the same time which actually makes for a strong group of musicians after their first year of playing. Plus, they're ready for the world of middle school sarcasm and college readiness.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I'm still amazed I get to do what I love every day! Students have more knowledge than you ever expect of them and tend to lead teachers to new paths.

My own education history

Bachelor of Music Education K-12 Master of Arts in Music Education K-12

Additional biographical information

I have a kitten named Peach who is one year old! I love to play kickball and try new food! I enjoy traveling to places I've never been (and the same places more than once).
