I went into education because....I love helping students to find their voices and use them to work together for a common goal. To me, teaching music allows students to not only express themselves in new and different ways, but also to help discover who they are.
Why I became a teacher...My own music teachers were a huge inspiration in my life. Music was the reason I loved going to school and the classes brought me so much joy. I became a teacher because I thought if I could have the same impact on even a few of my students, then I would be fulfilling a purpose.
On a Saturday you'll find me hanging out with my husband, five year old, and 2 year old, relaxing by our pool, testing out a new recipe, or enjoying some Brazilian food cooked by my in-laws.
