I’ve been singing, writing songs, and playing guitar most of my life. I’ve written more than 150 songs, many for children and their families. I’ve recorded four family music albums. I taught elementary education, art camps, and group and private music lessons for thirty-nine years. I love singing and sharing the wonder and magic of music. I’m so happy to be joining the 317 community and sharing with the wonderful students, families, and staff.
