ABOUT ME
Hello everyone! I am so excited to for my third year of learning and teaching music at ACAGJ! I grew up here in Grand Junction (go tigers!) and graduated from Colorado Mesa University in the spring of 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education. My goal is to cultivate a love for the beautiful, to hone a taste for the excellent, and to develop tools for a lifetime of understanding and appreciating music in all of our students.
Outside of school I enjoy being in nature, reading, writing, painting, and spending time with my family, friends, and pets. My primary instrument is cello, and I also enjoy singing and playing saxophone.
