About
I have been surrounded by music my whole life. I earned my degree in Music Education at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory and University in 2022. I studied clarinet and voice while performing in the symphonic band and university choir during my time there. I am now an Elementary General Music Teacher in Granville, Ohio. My two biggest passions are music and teaching and I am so grateful that I get to do both everyday!
I cater to my students' needs and interests. I believe it is my job to meet my students where they are at and to then work with them to get them to where they would like to be. My teaching style is collaborative and authentic with an emphasis on relationship building. Feelings of trust and security are both necessary elements for learning to occur.
