Before it was Grassy Creek, I had just transferred to CPI for a year from Pleasant Crossing Elementary where I taught K-4 for seven years. In the past 18 years, I have gained experience teaching General Music, Choir, and Band.
I graduated from Indiana State University in 1999 where my principal instrument is the trumpet, although I don't get to play it very often anymore. I became a music teacher because I loved being Band. I love working with kids and watching them develop a passion for being able to sing and play instruments. My students become musicians while in my classroom. My hope is for them to continue in music or at least develop an appreciation for what it takes to be a musician and how music is a part of our daily lives. I want them to have fun!
I love spending time with my husband and twin daughters, Emily and Julie who are 3rd graders at Grassy Creek this year. My favorite things to do are painting, traveling, going for walks/hiking and reading. My favorite singers and groups right now are Imagine Dragons, 21 Pilots, George Ezra (Budapest) and Phillip Phillips (Gone, Gone, Gone). My current favorite kid songs are from Moana and Trolls.
