I have been teaching elementary music at Merritt and directing the MIB choirs since 2010. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Minnesota, Duluth with a Bachelor of Music Education Degree. In addition to teaching, I direct church choir and sing soprano in the jazz choir "Touch of Class"

I was born and raised in Cloquet, Minnesota, and lived several years in St. Cloud before moving to the Iron Range. I enjoy teaching at MIB because of the family atmosphere here, and feel that the staff members care about all aspects of the students' well being, not just about their education.
