"I am honored and excited to be your teacher and begin an exciting year of learning, fun and friendships! Away from school I enjoy spending time with my son, Deon, and husband, Jay. I love to cook and try new foods, draw, and attend outdoor events. I aspire to pursue future degrees or receive a Music Therapy Equivalency Program to learn more about music cognition, psychology, and therapeutic techniques for school-aged children. "
