Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year at Harby! I am so excited to share my passion, time, and joy with you!
This is my 4th year at Harby; while this year will have challenges, we can make it a truly amazing year! I grew up in Wimberley, Texas (South/West of Austin) and received my Bachelor's of Music in Music Therapy at Sam Houston State University (Eat 'em up Kats!). After spending 5 years accompanying high school and middle school choir in Willis, Texas, I decided that this was the life for me! I went back to get my teaching certification in Music and am ecstatic to be a teacher. I started as the assistant choir director at Harby, but am now the head choir director. I am thrilled to be here and I cannot wait to share experiences and wonderful music with you!
My husband and I have been married for 8 years and our first child just turned 2 years old this August! I apologize, but I talk about them a lot! They are the light of my life. We also have a zoo at my house with 2 dogs (Raynor & Cortana), 2 cats (Zeratul & Kerrigan), and 2 flying squirrels (Ori & Chief). As you can see by the names, my nerdy husband and I love video games! I also love Lord of the Rings, fun Netflix series', and curling up with a good book.
I am ecstatic to have you join us this year and look forward to sharing our successes (and learning struggles) with you!
