I am a proud Colorado native with over 21 years of experience in music education. After earning my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from the University of Colorado School of Music, I moved to Florida, where I had the unique opportunity to work at Walt Disney World while continuing my teaching career.

During my time in Florida, I taught music, choir, and theatre, and served as the Coordinator and Facilitator for the Polk All-County Chorus—an event featuring over 300 auditioned singers from across the county.

I’ve had the privilege of being part of the founding leadership team that opened Grand View Elementary. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Leadership Education with a Principal Endorsement and am passionate about growing as both an educator and a leader.

I live with my husband, Dutch; our daughters, Lily and Trista; and our two beloved pups, Rameses and Maeve.
