MTSD Middle School Orchestra

Greetings!  This is my 17th year teaching orchestra in the Mequon-Thiensville School District.  I have the opportunity to work with 6th-7th-8th grade students at both Lake Shore and Steffen Middle Schools.  I grew up in the Milwaukee area (Wauwatosa) and am familiar with the many wonderful opportunities that surround our community musically. As a student myself, I participated in MYSO and, as all students ask, played primarily viola! 

I studied music education at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin.  I received my Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education and then received a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis on Creative Arts in Learning.  

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with two sons whether it be at one of their many sporting events or family time in Northern Wisconsin.  My sons would tell you that I love to read, as my free time is usually spent with a great book! 

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with your children on a daily basis!  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
