Orchestra
About Me:
I am thrilled to share my love of music with you this year! I'm married to a great husband, Matthew, with two wonderful bonus kids--Luke and Karis, a dog--Juliet, and a cat--Chester. I'm a graduate of KHS--Class of '94. My orchestra journey and love of music started at MLMS in 6th grade orchestra class, where I was given a viola to play. I didn't even know what a viola was! But it lit a fire in me and an unquenchable love of music, which I can't wait to share with you.
In addition to teaching, I play my viola professionally at weddings, churches, with the Longview Symphony, the Longview String Quartet, and for various other events and venues.
