I am a NewSongs alumni, first as a student in the program and now as a college student I have returned to teach. When I am not making music with my band, I love caring for horses, so I guess you can call me a country girl at heart. My goal for students is to focus on safe fundamental singing techniques no matter what style of music you love to sing. Together we can enjoy music that you love, but also make sure we are using good habits for a lifetime of singing.

I studied music composition at the University of Utah and Cosumnes River College. I had several of my own original pieces performed there. I have played the trombone since 2005 and have been composing since 2007, with nine years total marching band experience--including five years as a member of the Pride of Utah Marching Band--and was a part of concert bands, jazz bands, and orchestras at every school I attended. I hope to pass along my array of knowledge and experience to a wide range of students, while always refining the skill sets that I already possess. I also work with the Music Bus and serve local elementary school campuses with elementary band and general music programs.
