I started teaching 2nd-12th Grade Orchestra at Hamilton Central in 2017 and I've had a wonderful time working with my students since! I completed my undergrad and graduate degrees at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 2012 and 2016, and have taught string orchestra and general music in Western New York since 2013. In my free time I am usually playing my ukulele or singing with the Jubilation choir in Hamilton.

I wish to help my students build a lifelong appreciation for music and the other arts, as well as encourage them to become independent thinkers and active learners.
