I hope that you are as excited as I am to travel on a musical journey full of scholarship, creativity, and self expression. My family and I relocated to Charlotte from Philadelphia in October, 2010. I am an alumni of West Chester University where I earned my degree in music with a minor in voice and piano and performance concentration on the alto saxophone. Believe it or not, I began my teaching career as a high school asst. band director in 2006! I have two children of my own; a 10 year old son, Connor, and a daughter, Kaylee, who is 7 years old. They certainly brighten each and every day! Teaching children at the elementary and middle school levels is something that I have always wanted to do. My instructors have inspired me to become a dedicated musician and strive for excellence in many other areas of my life. I believe that sharing my passion for music will not only enable my students to explore their creativity and reveal talent, but build their confidence to succeed in the future!
