I believe music is a universal language that speaks to us all, transcending age and backgrounds. From heartwarming melodies to uplifting beats, it moves us in unique ways. 

As a Colorado native, my musical journey began at age 5 with the piano and continued as I sang with the Colorado Children’s Chorale by age 9. I've since traveled internationally with the Cast of Up With People and many other bands. Currently, I am an elementary music school teacher  in Castle Rock.

My goal as an educator is to help students find their own musical voices while appreciating the shared experience. Together, let's explore the world of music and self-expression.
