About Me
I am a Music Educator currently teaching K-5 general music, movement, and choir in Kentucky. Through both daily music instruction, and clubs such as Chorus and International Folk Dance Club, I strive to teach my students how to be creative, curious, and empathetic humans through the lens of music. I have also served as an Instructional Coach for developing music educators.
I received both my MAT in Music Education and Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Louisville. I have completed AOSA Teacher Education Levels I and II at the University of Kentucky and serve on the Greater Cincinnati AOSA Chapter Board. I am a big believer in practicing your own skills to become a better teacher, and play and dance in community groups in my area.
