I love teaching music. For over a decade I have worked with hundreds of classroom students in grades K-12. I have lead choirs, bands and general music studies. In the recent past I hosted a private music studio for nine years. I began my career in Rapid City and I look forward to teaching at Black Hills Studio of the Arts!

​

My passion is creating opportunities for students to explore music in personal and meaningful ways! Music is a lot of work and requires rigid skills; I love showing students that is it also free flowing and fun!

​

I enjoy music making with my 3 children and husband. We live on a ranch east of town on the beautiful (albeit dry!) South Dakota prairie. This leads to a love of the outdoors and animals. I am a new business owner and have enjoyed the journey of fusing my love of music with… coffee!

​

I thrive on straight forward communication and feedback. Please reach out to me, through BHSA, with any questions or clarifications.

​

I cannot wait to get started and will look forward to meeting you in person!!
