This is my 30th year teaching general music and chorus. In 3rd grade I announced to my class that I was going to be a music teacher when I grew up, and here I am! In my time away from school I perform when I can, but I'm an avid hockey player (yep)! I've had the privilege of traveling to far-off places. My goal is to visit all 7 continents, so far I've been to 4. Most of my travel is focused on animals. I LOVE CATS!!!! 

I'm looking forward to getting to know each of you in our year together in music!
