"Music is such an incredible gift of God. It enriches our lives, feeds our souls, and allows us to praise our God in ways no other communication allows. I can't imagine life without music. I'm so thankful for all the references to music in Scripture. Indeed, God's Word validates both vocal and instrumental music and its overseers.
My students are also called to the ministry of music as I am. They too love to share the joy and gift of music with others. My career passion is to equip our students with the tools needed to be the best music teachers they can be, thus impacting eternity."
Interests: sewing, hiking, biking
