This is my second year teaching general music and band at Walt Disney Magnet, and I have been loving every minute of making music with Disney students! I grew up in a family of music teachers, so teaching music runs in my blood! Before becoming a teacher at Disney I was a professional musician. I have a Bachelor's degree in music performance from the University of Central Arkansas, and a Master's degree in music performance from DePaul University. I played the bassoon and taught music lessons to students in the Chicagoland area for five years before deciding to return to DePaul to get my teaching certification so that I could teach music in public schools. I am thrilled to be a part of the Disney family, and I am looking forward to an amazing school year with the young musicians in our school!
