Here's a bit about me: 

I graduated from Coe College with a Bachelor’s of Music Degree in 2024. I did my student teaching at Bowman Woods Elementary, and Linn Mar High School. My husband and I have spent the last five summers working as camp counselors and program director interns at East Iowa Bible Camp. As of last year, my husband Ben accepted a position as the Associate Program Director at EIBC. We love being able to work in ministry together.

I am excited to get to know all of my students and work to expand their musical skills and knowledge. I am very passionate about music and learning through play. I strive to provide for visual, aural and kinesthetic learners in each lesson. My personal favorite is kinesthetic learning, as children understand concepts more quickly if they physically experience the concept. I implement many movement circle games as a way for students to experience how to be a good partner and show teamwork and cooperation, while experiencing the joys of music!

I look forward to working on…

• Singing and pitch matching skills

• Music literacy in melodic direction and rhythmic recognition

• Movement games in which students respond physically to a signal

• Preparing for chapel services and concerts

• Developing positive relationships with the Trinity students!
