...and I am a native of South Bend, Indiana.  I attended college at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, then transferred to Virginia Union University here in Richmond!  I majored in Music Education, because I loved playing my instrument, and I wanted everyone else to love it too.  Becoming a teacher just made sense!

Having taught for a long time, the game has really changed for me this year with the pandemic.  Teaching music virtually gives me the opportunity to teach in an all new way and share an experience with my students like never before.  I'm nervous and excited for what's to come this year!
