After graduating from the SDMA in 2010, I attended college to become a Music Educator. During my college summers, I worked as a summer camp counselor at Camp Fairwood in Westfield, WI. I was also able to teach English for 4 weeks in Kunming, China. I then received my Bachelor of Science in Music Education in 2016 and taught K-5 General Music at River Heights Elementary for 5 years (2016-2021). I chose not to renew my teaching contract and now I am currently a private music teacher and a Comprehensive Community Service Provider based in Dunn County.

I've lived in Menomonie since October of 1999. I grew up in Menomonie and attended the Menomonie School system along with 2 of my 7 brothers (the photo below may be deceiving - they are in fact all taller than me). I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and participating in musicals in the community.
