About Me

 

I know where you are coming from and can support you where you are going.

I am a music educator with over a decade of experience teaching a variety of content areas and grade levels, licensed in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I originally created many of the materials on this site for my work in public education and have been using- and updating- them since then. I can attest to their efficacy!

As a full time public school music teacher, I teach guitar classes, music technology, adapted music, introduction to keyboard, and popular music ensemble.


I am a firm believer in access and equity inside and outside of the classroom, whether that means delivering guitars to students in the middle of a pandemic or marching with my students in the Boston Pride Parade. I am also a member of the Committee for Diversity, Equity,  and Inclusion for the Massachusetts Music Educator's Association.
