I am currently in my tenth year of teaching general music and my sixth year at Crestline. I am very blessed to be a part of the Crestline team! My coworkers are true professionals who exemplify servant leadership and their love for our students and willingness to help one another is unparalleled. I am certified in all levels of Orff-Schulwerk and am currently working on a certification in World Music Drumming, both of which inform my style of teaching. I strive to utilize music to help our students connect to one another and the world around them. I try to instill in our students just how fun music can be as we play instruments, sing, and dance.  I love music and can't imagine enjoying any other job like I enjoy teaching elementary music. I also double as one of the directors of our CAST (after school) program and enjoy working in that role as well. 

I am originally from Kentucky and earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Northern Kentucky University. My family relocated to Alabama in 2015 and we consider it the best decision we have made to-date for our family. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, remodeling houses, and am an active member of our church.
