About Me

DePaul University, School of Music
Bachelors of Music, Bachelors of Education
 
I am excited to begin my sixth year of teaching at Brighton Park this year. Though I am a new face at BP, I have taught Kindergarten through 12th grade in the past in Chicago Public Schools and Columbus City Schools in Ohio. I am an instrumentalist by trade (Woodwind Specialist), having played with various symphonic bands. 
This year, I am bringing the Little Kids Rock grant foundation to our school to give our students the opportunity to play and perform in a modern band setting. Students will be learning how to play the acoustic guitar, and a basic, introductory foundation in electric bass, keyboard, and drum set.
