Biography

Hello! I am an instrumental music teacher at Mascoutah High School and Mascoutah Middle School. Before coming to Mascoutah, I taught High School and Elementary Band in Alton, Illinois from 2017-2020.

My primary instrument is percussion. I received my Bachelor's Degree in music education from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. While attending SIUE, I participated in varying ensembles such as Wind Symphony, Concert Band, Percussion Ensemble, Steel Band, Orchestra, and E Band. Prior to attending SIUE I received my Associates Degree in music education from Parkland Community College in Champaign, Illinois. During my time at Parkland I participated in Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, Concert Orchestra, and Concert Choir.

A little bit about me outside of the music world: I love to spend time with my dog Teddy, eat pepperoni pizza, read different book series, play Nintendo games, and spend time with my loved ones.
