I am so excited to start my sixth year in the Elkhorn Area School District. I have previously worked in Racine Unified, Kenosha Unified, Union Grove Joint School District No. 1 and Muncie Community Schools (in Muncie, Indiana).
I currently teach 5th grade Band at Jackson, Tibbets and West Side Elementary, as well as 6th and 7th grade Band at the Middle School.
I graduated from Carthage College with a degree in Instrumental Music Education. My main instruments are Oboe and English Horn, but I love playing all Band instruments.
While in Band, I have been able to participate in some AMAZING opportunities. I have traveled and performed in Chicago, the Mall of America, Hawaii and Japan. I have also performed with the Milwaukee Choristers and in Racine Case High School's production of Phantom of the Opera.
My husband and I have two wonderful sons! They have changed our whole world in the best way. In my spare time, I can usually be found chasing children, crocheting, knitting or coming up with some other craft/project to work on. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and hope to do some more traveling.
Band should be fun! My goal is to teach your child to enjoy learning Music, and to always want to learn more!
