What is your Alma Mater?
Middle Tennessee State University

Where do you currently teach?
Mitchell-Neilson School, Murfreesboro

How long have you been teaching?
10 years

Why do you choose to be a member of TMEA?
It’s an amazing opportunity to connect with music educators from all across the state, to attend fabulous and inspiring PD sessions, and to have support from my friends and colleagues!

What do you love about teaching?
Getting to be a fun and hopefully inspiring part of children’s lives! I love their smiles and laughs in my classroom; I love their “aha” moments; and I love making music with them!

If you could choose another job for one day, what would it be?

President of the United States

Tell us one thing about you that people would be surprised to know or something you are passionate about besides teaching.
I studied abroad for clarinet at a music school in Belgium in 2008, then did a tour of Europe afterwards. It was an amazing experience and I want to go back someday!

Share a fun and unique idea that you use in your classroom!
​​​​​If you haven’t tried John Feierabend’s “First Steps” program with your littles, you absolutely MUST! I also love the CMHOF Words & Music unit for my older ones, and incorporating tons of children’s books with movement activities for all!

What is your Alma Mater?
Lee University

Where do you currently teach?
North Lee Elementary, Cleveland

How long have you been teaching?
4 years

Why do you choose to be a member of TMEA?
The relationships and friendships I’ve made with other TN educators has been invaluable to my growth not only as a teacher, but also as a person. I love how we’re able to collaborate on ideas all for the betterment of our amazing students!

What do you love about teaching?
Seeing my students faces light up when they finally grasp a concept, and watching them help their peers do the same fills my heart with such joy. Knowing that I am shaping the future by encouraging young minds is the best feeling in the world!

If you could choose another job for one day, what would it be?

I can’t decide between the conductor of the President’s Own United States Marine Band, or singer with the Glenn Miller orchestra (both still music, I know!)

Tell us one thing about you that people would be surprised to know or something you are passionate about besides teaching.
I was a top 10 finalist in the Miss Tennessee pageant in college!

Share a fun and unique idea that you use in your classroom!
​​​​​We are always moving to music! Whether that’s creating our own special dances, incorporating the newest trend, or finding the form of a piece of music in our bodies. We rarely sit still! ​
