WELCOME 6th grade and new students to Orchestra and WELCOME BACK to my awesome 7th and 8th grade Orchestra students! I am THRILLED to see you all soon and we are very hopeful to have some performances and field trips this year (Yay!-fingers crossed) Soon I will get to know of all of you a little better, but until then, here's a few things about me!
I am a Virginia native, but I was born and raised in Richmond VA. I started playing the violin at the young age of 4 and loved it so much that I continued through college. While in high school I was the youngest violinist to play with the professional Petersburg Symphony. I went to college at Old Dominion University where I earned my bachelor's in Music Education and also received scholarships to play violin and viola in ODU's Symphony.
This is my 17th year with NPS, and my 12th year at Blair MS. I am passionate about furthering my students love of music through dedication, care, and a variety of opportunities!
I can't wait to see you all soon as we have fun, work hard, and enjoy making some beautiful music together!
