Sharing the transformative powers of music has been my passion since childhood. Helping students discover and share their musical voices, whether through music theory or voice lessons, is what keeps me going. Riverland provides me the opportunity to work closely with students while allowing students a wide range of musical experiences.

Travel is a big interest of mine and I share that by co-leading Riverland's annual arts travel-study trips. When not in the classroom, I enjoy lawn and garden work, home improvement projects, reading, good food, and bicycling.
