This is my fourth year at Gateway. I am grateful to be here and be part of the community. I grew up in Southwest Michigan and received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Michigan State University.  I am currently pursuing a Master's at Furman University. This is my eleventh year of teaching. I'm fortunate to share my passion for music with students every day.  In my spare time I fiddle, sing, hike, canoe, garden, and dance.
